Serious question for Beatle Boomers who think they are the best that ever was, the best that ever will be: If you like the heavily produced orchestral type stuff, can you really say that ELO didn't take it to the next level and do it better?

Ooh, let's do favorite Electric Light Orchestra songs:

Can't Get It Out of My Head
Fire on High
10538 Overture
Last Train to London
Turn to Stone


JORR....the answer to your question is "YES".

CH:
1. Do Ya
2. Evil Woman
3, 4, 5 is a tie between Telephone Line and everything on your list.

Not afraid to admit it...I fucking love E.L.O.



ELO is fucking great

Can't believe I left "Do Ya" off my list. I go to box, feel shame.

Mr. Blue Sky is over saturated but still great.

I love that song and “Livin’ Thing” and the latter mainly because it’s perfectly used to the exits in “Boogie Nights”.

I actually prefer “Let It Be…Naked” a thousand times more than the original record.

I’d say The Moody Blues did it better than either. But they weren’t a better band than The Beatles. I like ELO but don’t consider them to be particularly influential.

cannot argue with either point. ELO is a selfish, personal favorite, but wouldn't consider them ground-breaking. Jeff Lynne was pretty much a Beatles disciple who was a great song-writer.

Moody Blues is firmly in the underrated camp. Days of Future Passed took orchestration to a different level. The orchestration was an equal part of the band as opposed to a supplement.
