Discovery by Electric Light Orchestra

Listen to Don't Bring Me Down
Also listen to Last Train to London

Disco Very indeed! I'm afraid I'm going to have to link two songs for you guys to listen to - too hard to choose one when both of these songs make me want to boogie. Alas the end of ELO week, my God they are amazing. Thankfully there are many more ELO albums for me to explore so expect another ELO week in the future! The songs I've linked to this past week are phenomenal, please check them all out. I'm starting to think I was born in the wrong generation. I need to get my disco on and the 70s are where I belong! Here's to good music people!

Out of the Blue by Electric Light Orchestra

Listen to Mr. Blue Sky

Mr. Blue Sky was the first ELO song I was introduced to. After hearing Out of the Blue, I find that it's still my favourite song and I need to give the album another listen. I'm sure the charm was there, I just had company over and focusing on the music was kind of hard. I don't like giving an album a listen when it's just background music. Tomorrow is Friday and the last day of ELO week. Discovery looks promising, I'm sure it won't bring me down (haha lame I know).

A New World Record by Electric Light Orchestra

Listen to Telephone Line

I'm really appreciating the fact that I have yet to be disappointed by Electric Light Orchestra. Mind you, they have over ten albums over the span of thirty years so - maybe somewhere along the road I might stumble across one I don't like. Here's hoping I haven't jinxed myself! A New World Record is yet another great album by them. When listening to the album, I had to stop to put Telephone Line on repeat. The song Shangri-La was the perfect end to the album. It's going to be a good week - I'm especially excited for tomorrow and Friday's albums!

Face the Music by Electric Light Orchestra

Listen to Strange Magic

Day two of Electric Light Orchestra week and I'm still loving what I'm hearing. I put the album on a couple of times and I have to say that Strange Music is now one of my favourite ELO songs. As with Eldorado, the entire album was entertaining to listen to. To be honest, I don't think any of their albums I listen to this week will disappoint me. Unfortunately, that means shorter review blurbs from me! If you liked Strange Magic, check out ELO's 1975 album Face the Music.

Eldorado by Electric Light Orchestra

Listen to Eldorado Overture-Can't Get It Out Of My Head

It's Electric Light Orchestra week! Well for me at least. I will be listening to ELO albums till Friday, starting with Eldorado. I have The Angry Beard to thank for introducing me to ELO with their song Mr. Blue Sky (on Out of the Blue which I'll cover Thursday). Yesterday we were both at Jack Astor's and Don't Bring Me Down (on Discovery which I'll cover Friday) was playing. Upon discovering the artist, I decided that it was time to get into ELO. I listened to Eldorado a couple of times. Overall, the album was a good listen, a little slow at some parts (the pace was right, just a little too slow for me at the time). I'm really curious to hear what I'm going to come across the next four albums and which will be my favourite. Stay tuned!
