Although it contains all the hits and the remastering sounds superb, the three-disc box set Afterglow is likely to be more ELO than anyone but the most devoted fans would want from an anthology.
ELO have made their mark in music history books with some mighty '70s power anthems - "10538 Overture," "Strange Magic" and "Don't Bring Down (no no no no no)" to name a few. Today news hits that the band's former bassist Kelly Groucutt has died following an unexpected heart attack. He was 63.Following a stint in the UK band Sight And Sound, Groucutt joined ELO in 1974, three years after Jeff L...

so i was sitting on the couch eating shrimp and watching the godfather on tv, when during a commercial break, i heard a very familiar sound. the commercial was about dish washers or something, but i was consumed with the song they played. i couldnt remember who it was by, but i knew i had it somewhere. off to my computer (vito corleone would have to wait) to search for "Mr. Blue Sky." my comput...

You know that you love E.L.O., you just forgot about them, right? Do yourself a favor and cue up some "Do Ya" or some "Mr. Blue Sky" and give a lift to your housework, your work-out, or your commute.E.L.O. is a harmless happy drug you don't have to get a prescription for.

There are a number of bands that I like primarily through some form of proxy, no small number of them originally things I would hear when my dad put LPs onto the ol' record player - Deep Purple, Elton John, Emerson Lake & Palmer, and the Electric Light Orchestra are great examples of these.There's something about the music of my dad's generation that really appeals to me - it seems so much pure...
