The strings have always been a big part of ELO's sound. They hit their peak during the disco era and the strings definitely helped them fit in and get a lot of airplay amidst all of that. Of course, Jeff Lynne's brilliant songwriting has always been their main draw. I hope you check out the album you were gifted. I think you'll really enjoy it. :)

What can you say, it's Jeff Lynne and ELO. IMO, ELO has the most songs that can get stuck in your head, this one included. Love how they use so many elements in their songs, especially the strings and cow bell. (More cow bell!) Their "Don't Bring Me Down" (my favorite of theirs), "All Around the World", and "Telephone Line" are ones to really get into. Another great song with strings is "Drops of Jupiter" by Train.

ELO got its name as they were Electric, and original line up features a "Light Orchestra" (basically a string quartet). A Feature they kept up to the album 'Time' The Album Discovery was nicknamed "Disco Very" by some of the band, but after Roy Wood left (the first album) there was certainly a dash of the danceable in some of their songs Peaking with Discovery.

There was nobody like them...I saw them early to mid-seventies with the orchestral elements incorporated into the band. They mixed '50s rock 'n' roll with classical, disco, funk, etc. They had a bass player named Kelly Groucutt who shared vocals with Lynne and sang the falsetto parts on tour particularly on my favorite song, "Rockaria" which was a perfect blend of rock 'n' roll and opera/classical...definitely worth checking out.

RARELY a good idea to make a live version of a song your first listen. Live versions of pop/rock songs are almost always the band attempting (but nor quite succeeding) to recreate their studio sound... having said that, ELO's small string section. (which has ALWAYS been a part of the band, hence the "Orchestra" part of the name) has always done an amazing job recreating their sound on stage.

ELO were very successful and rather unique. They had a string of top ten singles and albums in the UK. Jeff Lynne is a songwriter, singer, multi‐instrumentalist and successful music producer, and the driving force behind the band after Roy Wood left early on. He's written for, performed on and produced albums for Tom Petty, George Harrison, Roy Orbison and Paul McCartney amongst others. He co‐wrote, played, sang and co‐produced both Travelling Wilburys albums. Not a bad resumé by anybody's standards.

Everyone should see ELO at least once. They have their live show down to an art form and I'd even go as far as to say they sound better live than on the albums. Jeff Lynn is still killing even though he's in his 70s and he is smart enough to have all that amazing talent backing him to pick up the where he needs them to now that he's older. I've seen older musicians that try to do everything they used and it suffers as a result, but ELO has it worked out perfectly.

At one point they did Rimsky Korsakov's Flight of the Bumblebee while shotting a green laser doing patterns on a white cello. They also had a big spaceship in the ceiling. Not near as chill as this and it was fantastic.
