One of the worst bands of all time. Like, classically bad, recognized for it. The epitome of what bad music should be. Right up there with Kool & the Gang. Don't bring me Down is a perfect example.

And then it turns out Shannon's really into the whole anal thing and that gets me to thinking about how many times I pressured you about trying it and how that probably fueled some of the bitterness between us. But do you see how even then, when I'm thrusting inside the steaming hot Dutch oven of your sister's cinnamon ring, all I can do is think of you? It's true, baby. In your heart you know it. phree stylz

Haha.. I dunno, I just don't think it has anything to redeem it. They don't have good lyrics, or good instrumentals, or good vocals, or any good melodies that I've heard. They're just irritating, in my opinion. It's funny for a short time, like all bad music, but after a few minutes, I just want to turn it off.

Blinded by the light is Manfred Mann. Just like the Mighty Quinn. And it's Racked up like a deuce, if you wanted to know, guy above.

I humbly admit my error. Thanks for pointing that out, Randall.

The only cool thing about ELO is that they made a vinyl album with one clear red and one clear blue record. Or at least I think it was them.

JD May, you are a fucking idiot. ELO's the smooth blending of orchastra sounds with rock and roll beats is unparraleled to this day. just listen to what you listen to and dont come after other musicians, especially pioneers like those guys. go fuck yourself...

^No need for hostility, It's not unreasonable for me to voice my observations. I have all these nice certificates and degrees from the RCOM, so I think I know something about music, and am at least entitled to an opinion. And where was the orchestra in 'Don't Bring Me Down'? All I heard wsas bad yodelling attempts. If I want that, I'll listen to Hocus Pocus by Focus, at least they can play guitar.
