Just kick back and listen to the album 'Eldorado'	LynneSin	Sep 2012	#24
OK, I will give them a listen.	TwilightGardener	Sep 2012	#26
ELO is like alot of bands of that era where their oldest stuff was way better than the newer stuff	LynneSin	Sep 2012	#28
Yep, I think there was a lot of pressure in that era to produce a radio-friendly single, and that	TwilightGardener	Sep 2012	#34
OK, reporting back from listening: turns out I know more ELO	TwilightGardener	Sep 2012	#73
Well I wouldn't put Kansas and ELO in the same category	LynneSin	Sep 2012	#75
Yeah, Kansas was more on the rock side of progressive rock--ELO was progressive in	TwilightGardener	Sep 2012	#77

Ron Wood is a sweet guy, but they really did start becoming a self-parody when he joined the group..	Tom Ripley	Sep 2012	#89
I think that's the reason I don't like the Stones that much	LynneSin	Sep 2012	#91
