"Mister Blue Sky" is officially the most happy song in Pop-History. You can't be grumpy after listening to it. Check it out!

Jeff Lynne(singer) joined George Harrison, Tom Petty and Roy Orbison in the band The Traveling Wilburys.

Sweet Talking Woman Can’t get it out of my head Telephone Line Livin’ Thing Do Ya Don’t bring me down Strange Magic When I was a boy Turn to stone Evil Woman Showdown All great hits by ELO

Telephone line live from Wembley is outstanding

The genius that is Jeff Lynne!

They have a catalog of pure brilliance.

***DON'T BRING ME DOWN*** Find it, you might know this one!

These people are what you call musicians!!!!!

"Don´t bring me down" is the biggest banger of them!

Electric Light Orchestra was without a doubt, one of our very best British bands ever. Was FORTUNATE enough to experience them in concert during this era, they BLEW ME AWAY and their light show lived up to their name IN A BIG WAY!!! They were some of the first to use laser lights at their concerts. Afterwards I was fortunate to meet the dummer Bev Bevan (former THE MOVE ) and the very kind and generous piano and keyboard player Richard Tandy, WHAT A NIGHT ❤ ❤ ❤ LOVE, HUGS, PEACE, GOD BLESS & STAY SAFE ❤ ❤ ❤

Electric Light Orchestra’s concerts were so much fun. Their light show was pretty impressive for 1977-78. Their use of orchestral instruments sparked the imaginations of many a band and orchestra student. Suddenly Classical instruments had a place in modern music. It was a great time.

Turned to Stone, and more, great tunes!!!! Love ELO😊

Eeeevvvvilllll woman eeeevvviiilll woman..❤

ELO was a great band when I was in school. I graduated in 82

ELO is from England. This is a jam! But this band had tremendous success with so many songs - "Mr. Blue Sky", "Telephone Line", "Evil Woman", "Turn to Stone", "Don't Bring Me Down", "Living Thing"...and more. Their hits never stop! This band found a style of their own. During this era of music the artists still made their OWN music without feeling the pressure of the record companies telling them how to make them and what was a hit. So many artists took liberties with their music back then and the risks often times paid off.

My favorite band of all-time. It is now called Jeff Lynne's (lead singer) ELO. Jeff writes, arranges, produces, and plays almost all the instruments on the recordings. He is the only regularly appearing original member left. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017. He is a musical genius who has worked with some of the all-time greats of Rock and Roll as producer, bandmate, etc. John Lennon once said ELO is what the Beatles may have turned into if they had stayed together longer. They are headed out on their final tour later this year. I've already got tix :) This band is so amazing live. Some other songs I recommend: Turn to Stone, Rockaria, Showdown, Fire on High, Roll Over Beethoven (cover of Chuck Berry's song), Tightrope and Mr. Blue Sky. I could go on and on. If nothing else, you'll greatly increase your playlist ;) Enjoy!

Evil woman next please! Love ELO. So many great songs. This song just makes want to dance. Lol 70sand 80s were the best time on music.

Telephone Line, Midnight Blue, Showdown and their cover of Roll Over Beethoven... They are amazing.

This can't be their most popular song. I'm 53 and never heard it before. Evil Woman and don't bring me down are fire❤

This is the result of true pro's man. No fuckin around and can reproduce their tunes live. At their peak they were untouchable on vinyl and live. One of the best shows i have seen.

🇬🇧 "Evil Woman" "Don't Bring Me Down" "Mr Blue Sky" " , Telephone Line" "Do Ya" "Rockaria" & the list goes on. Guys, ELO are my Number One All Time Favourite Band. Lead singer (Jeff Lynn) is a genius, he's amazing. They have a plethora of "hits" for you to react to. I think you're going to love em, (at least I hope you do). ❤🎼🎶

***** All of these Musicians are Classically Trained. Saw Them in LA when Laser Effects were first New. White Satin Tuxedos & introduced by Tony Curtis & folks were yelling "HOUDINI."! 🎉

My faborite band thanks JEFF LYNNE & (ELO)for your music...From GUATEMALA 🇬🇹❤️👌✌️

I LOVE ELO! My sister saw them in concert in the 70's and had all of their albums. I then got all of their albums and cd's. They are AMAZING! I love all of their music. I especially love "One Summer Dream" and "Livin' Thing", "Midnight Blue", and so many more. If you haven't seen it yet be sure and check out their concert tour video ELO - Zoom Tour Live. They are still absolutely phenomenally gifted!! Definitely worth going down the ELO rabbit hole!!

This is one of the greatest things about music from the 1970s! All the different types of instrumentation and now everyone just samples and autotunes!

ELO, one of the best concerts I've seen. Their music surrounds you

Great band Shine A Little Love Rockaria Don't Bring Me Down Telephone Line Tons of great songs

Yeah they're from the UK, Birmingham. "Mr Blue Sky" is a catchy tune.

I'm 61. I've never heard of it. My favorite is "Mr Blue Sky." You guys were so kind. I'm like "nah " 😂

TURN TO STONE has always been one of my favorite ELO songs. Would love to see you react to that. 😊

The one synthesizer used in the middle solo is the Yamaha CS-80. It's one of the most expensive synthesizers you can buy used. The other synthesizer is the Moog Polymoog. That synth was used in Gary Numan's song Cars. The Yamaha CS-80 is available as a emulation from Arturia. You can buy it separately or part of the Arturia V-Collection 10. The V-Collection 10 has over 30 instruments. Check it out.

Ozzy Osbournes wife Sharron was their manager because her dad owned the record label they were signed to Jet records

OMG I thought I was the only one that thought that part sounded like Mary Tyler Moore,lol,and I`ve been listening to this song since it first came out.

ELO has been my favourite band of all time. Saw Jeff Lynne’s ELO a number of years ago, row 6. Going to see them again in a month. This song is probably their 10th most popular one of all time, as others have mentioned. Mr. Blue Sky, Turn to Stone, etc. etc. are amazing. Jeff Lynne is a LEGEND, has roots with the Beatles and others. Thanks for sharing and let’s have more ELO songs!!!!!!

The outro to guardians of the galaxy 2 with baby groot dancing is ELO - "Mr blue sky"

"Don't Bring Me Down", "Strange Magic", "Do Ya", "Turn To Stone", "Sweet Talkin' Woman" are 5 of their pop chart hits. All are great. :)

🇬🇧 Lead singer (Jeff Lynn) vocals, guitar, songwriter, producer, genius. ❤🎼🎶🎙️

Mr. blue sky and telephone line are phenomenal ones that you would love to react to, they are a very eclectic band. Sometimes in some of their music, they have the most comparison to the Beatles that I could remember.

My faborite band thanks to JEFF LYNNE for his music... From GUATEMALA 🇬🇹❤️👌✌️

One of the best concerts I have ever been to. They just announced their final tour dates. Must go if you get a chance.

In the 70's, when this was released and ELO was at it's most popular , Glam rock was a big thing, it continued into the 80's and looking fem was part of it. Burt Cummings wrote Glamour Boy about it and how he isn't going to follow the tread.

Strange choice for an ELO first time, but I'm here for it!

One the many soundtracks of my youth. ELO playing on my Walkman as I hitched around the UK and Europe.

Hi!!! ELO was pure fun!! I remeber my parents dancing this song! Regards from Chile 🙂

Thank you for your reaction. If you are willing to hear more of this band I recommend I'm Alive , and All Over the World. I like your channel.

I am 63 years old. I don’t know why I haven’t heard this song.

Another great track from the genius jeff lynne well done guys ❤

Jeff Lynne was also one of the Traveling Wilburys, with George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and others.

❤❤❤I love ELO !!!!❤❤❤

Last Train To London is my fav by ELO.. They are on their final concert tour this year and will be no more very soon. Singer Jeff Lynne is a musical genius. I had the privilege of seeing these original members back in 1978 in San Francisco.. Best concert I've ever been too. And yes, he had the same blue violin at that concert as well.. I may be seeing them for the last time this summer in Sacramento, CA.. BTW, that was Tony Lewis of the "Outfield" in the top left corner square.

Love ELO ❤ Amazing in concert. 😍

Such a genuinely fantastic band! Takes me back to the 70's

Just sit back and listen to ELO backlist 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

ELO is the soundtrack to my teen years. Love them!

So many great songs! You can’t go wrong with ELO.

As a teenager I loved ELO. Groove, groove, groove.

Electric light orchestra are great!! Yes great voice and song

ELO have a ton of songs that will blow you away- just the creativity and thought that has gone into the production- Jeff Lynne’s voice is phenomenal; depending on what you’re in the mood for they have a bit of everything- upbeat fun tracks and downbeat ballads that will make the hairs on your neck stand up… would love some more 👍👍

E.L.O. - Sweet Talking Woman - Living Thing - Turn to Stone - Do Ya - Telephone Line

You got to listen to them doing, Living Thing.

This was a Brummie (denizens of Birmingham, England, Britain’s second largest city) band. They had so many wonderful hits.

ELO is Amazing! So many great songs

The lead singer is from ‘Birmingham U.K. I think the song is about meeting a girl but she had to get back to London so ending their liaison, a great band with my favourite album being “time”.

❤the intro to this song reminds me of the disco hit Boogie Nights😊😊

You sat there with that Well just listen to that man look on your face listening reminds me of my son as he looks the same when he hears something that tingles those music waves 😊😊

Their catalog of songs is so extensive and no one ever came close to sounding like them before or since. Every single song is very different and all came from the genius of Jeff Lynn. He wrote as many as 50 for other artists including the Beatles and for 3 of the Beatles when the became solo artists. There is a video on KZfaq of the 50 songs he wrote for other artists. Sorry for going so long but there is so much from this mana career. BTW..he just announced dates for his next tour.

One of their early hits was Roll Over Beethoven. They went heavier on the strings then than later on, but no mistake, it's a banger.

My favourite band of all time. Been listening to them all my life. You should listen to some of their more recent concert at Wembley... very good.

He also became a member of the Travelling Wilburys the best of the best .

Love ELO! Never heard this one, though! They have mad bangers, but definitely check our Evil Woman!

These guys were my 1st ever favorite band. This song is from their album Discovery, which had some disco-ish overtones with the added little flashes of funk. I believe this was from 1979 or '80.

The fall and don't walk away videos from Xanadu and telephone line are my favorites from ELO

This is the mighty ELO from Birmingham England. You're in for a joyful ride if you get around to reacting to a few of their songs - there are plenty of bangers to choose from. Mr. Blue Sky has been voted the happiest song ever recorded. So maybe start with that one.

Thanks for the memories. Heard this one alot as a brat in Germany!

Love playing their greatest hits CD, I’m amazed how I remember all the words as at that age when words just disappear leaving me mid sentence 🤔😂

Do ELO's "Prologue+Twilight" next. This is from their futuristic concept album Time.

❤Great reaction! Try "Confusion" and "Telephone line" 😉 ¡Saludos, desde Argentina!

Hair is 🔥 to some of us ladies. 😊 I get ya though, you're right.

This song came out before "Funky Town". The reason they called the electric light orchestra was because they were using both electric and orchestral instruments.

This is my favourite ELO song.❤🦘🇦🇺

Great band with a whole string of bangers. Jeff Lynne is the guy who headed up the band. He was a big fan of the beatles and tried to emulate some of their stuff while staying in his one lane. He was also in the Traveling Wilburys with a whole slew of other famous musicians ( Tom Petty, George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan) He is just an amazing song writer. Other songs to try, The Jungle, Mr Blue Skies (Weezer are huge fans and covered this on their teal album), Don't Bring Me Down. Turn to Stone, Living Thing, Sweet Talkin Woman, the list goes on and on.

those odd keyboards were progressive jazz oriented, where they tend to change up rhythmic patterns that you are used to in other more mainstream genres. jeff lynne is the singer, composer and primary song writer. ELO is his band. he is a legend amongst the industry legends and one of the greatest writers of intriquite pop/rock music that the world has ever known. you are witnessing something far more important than your first impressions suggest

Anything from their "Live at Wembley" concert, you can't go wrong

ELO Huge rabbit hole keep digging👍🏻🤘🤘🤘🇦🇺🇦🇺

You have reacted to my two favourite bands.... The Electric Light Orchestra my lifetime favourites since the mid 70s and still plus Nightwish with Floor Jansen who I first heard 2 years ago at the age of 56. The Electric Light Orchestra like Nightwish is a deep, deep rabbit hole well worth investigating. ELO's "Last Train to London" is from the Discovery album that many call Disco Very due to a number of the album tracks have a disco vibe unlike most of their previous material that blended orchestral components with rock and opera. A unique sounding band that has transcended the ages. 🙏😊👍❤️

💛Favourite ELO song ty 🔥💖

I saw them in 1978 live in Philadelphia. The guys moved all over the stage with their instruments. It was crazy good. Please check out more of their music, you won’t be disappointed.

Hold on Tight. ELO Classic when I was a kid

If you have never seen Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty and Prince do a version of George Harrison's While My Guitar Gently Weeps at his Rock & Roll HOF induction, you must check it out! Epic.

One of my play out tunes absolutely brilliant ❤🇬🇧 UK Birmingham band 👍

Sou brasileira e essa música tocou muito no Brasil 🤩💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

Jeff Lynne is a musical genius. "SHOWDOWN" from ELO's 2014 concert in London's Hyde Park, and "EVIL WOMAN", performed at London's Wembley Stadium in 2017 are a definitive must! ELO is a fabulously deep rabbit hole!

It’s from the album Discovery or as the band members called it Disco Very that’s why it’s got a disco vibe too it also it’s from 1979 👍

ELO is good stuff. Rabbit hole is deep,,,,👍👍👍😎

Jeff Lynne, one of the greatest melodists in Rock history. This hit came off their Disco era album ''Discovery''. Wink, wink! Do you get it? Off the same album, came the other hits: Shine a little love, The Diary of Horace Wimp, Confusion and Don't bring me down. But please do yourself a favor and go back further into their discography to unearth their greatest gems: Showdown, Can't get it out of my head, Boy Blue, Evil woman, Strange Magic, Turn to stone, Sweet talkin' woman, Mr. Blue Sky, Tightrope, Telephone line, Rockaria!, Do ya, Livin' thing. I will be surprised if most or all of them do not make your playlist. And then maybe, you will get an inkling why we, of the older generations, feel today's music scene so dismal and barren, melodywise... Enjoy your time with ELO!

From here this catalog only gets more fantastic! So love ELO. Need to go back for more deep cuts now!

Went to see ELO a couple of years ago and have to say it was possibly the best gig I have ever been to..... He is about to retire and I really want to go to the final tour.. Having seen The Foo Fighters and bands like Muse who put on amazing shows that is saying something... Not a band I am massive fan of but live it is something special. You need to check out the Travelling Willburys as he was one of the guys behind that band too..

Saw ELO in the big spaceship era. ❤

You guys really need to go down the ELO rabbit hole it will blow your minds

ELO is my favorite band of all time. They have a heavy Beatles influence however no one sounds like ELO. Jeff Lynne actually produced the Beatles later on and he was in a group The Traveling Wilbur's with George Harrison. This song would not have been my first pick, although I'm happy to see you really liked it. They are known for putting out the best vibes and happiest songs! There are a lot of individual videos from 2017 Live from Wembley concert to choose from next! All over the world Living Thing and Mr Blue Sky are all pure joy! Dont Bring me down, evil woman, sweet talkin woman all great!
