Jeff Lynne probably belongs in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in some capacity. My brother had most of the 70's ELO albums-ELDORADO, FACE THE MUSIC, and A NEW WORLD RECORD were the ones I liked the best. With "Evil Woman", Jeff started coming up with danceable hit singles, always a plus but something that possibly hindered the band by the later 70's. For me, OUT OF THE BLUE and DISCOVERY were quite good but didn't measure up to the preceding three albums as the depressed grandeur of "Can't Get It Out of My Head" was lost. btw-"Mama" was a real gem from the early period.

Good point. ELO, and the Moody Blues. I have always loved Mama. Great early ELO song!

"Probably"? I don't think there's any question that ELO belongs in the Hall. Lynne's a shoe-in as a writer/producer. Maybe not as a solo artist, but the band ELO needs to be inducted soon. Same with the Moodies and Doobies. These bands get overlooked every year for some reason. I wonder if there's some underlying factor - I read once that Lynne might not be that well liked in Rock circles, though I don't beleive it. I think he could be a dick at times.

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

Have any Beach Boys mentioned that they liked ELO? I know Jeff worked with Brian, but was that even Brians idea? I would think that Carl Might have liked them.

I love
10538 Overture
.
The song is prominently featured in the trailer for the upcoming Oscar-bait movie America Hustle. That movie looks awesome, I must say.

I agree Mikie. The HoF just inducted Cat Stevens-and still no ELO!

The fact Jeff is excluded (and it seems the Zombies will be as well) makes me feel pretty sour towards the whole thing. Why are nominees to be inducted decided by popular vote?
It makes no sense.

Lynne recorded a new instrumental for the soundtrack as well.
