/Mu/'s Opinion on ELO

>>74223808
If /mu/ wasn't so pleb and obsessed with "patrician" music, they'd be all over ELO. Probably won of the best acts of the 70's. I think Face the Music, Eldorado, Out of the Blue, Time, and a New World Record are fantastic albums. It's sad though they're not pretentious enough to get recognition on here.

>A New World Record [United Artists, 1976]
Eat your diploma, Eric Carmen--after years of floundering, they've gone all the way and made a Moody Blues album with brains, hooks, and laffs galore. My fave is "Rockaria!," about a lass who "loves the way Puccini lays down a tune." Granted, I initially thought it was strictly for those who got off on music appreciation in high school, like the lass. But now I think it's also for those who hated it, like me. B+
