Really? The sheer physical presence of the Scandinavian chicks and women I've been around made me feel like a small child looking for his mamma amongst a sea of adults. Inadequate in other words. You should try them anyway if you get the opportunity. They can certainly cuddle you like a baby and they are a box of surprises, most (but not all) of them pleasant. In my case, being 1,91 metres high, tall women are not a problem for me. Furthermore, I find them more suitable for me, so I tend to like them tall and voluptuous, just like viking girls are, although I must confess that whenever there's a discussion I fear not being able to control the situation. And sorry jefflynnenut for the derailing of your thread. Let's get back to it now. if you want....but feel free to keep posting pictures of women in interesting clothing....i wouldnt want to stop you mid flow....

Your picture of Brienne stopped me mid flow, and if I wanted to be cuddled like a baby, I'd start going to hypnotic regression sessions. Don't get me wrong: I don't doubt that these voluptuous, modern day viking girls are full of pleasant surprises, but neither carrying around a step ladder or wearing platformed shoes is my style. You are right about the Nordic peoples being generally very nice, of course. 'Nice to a tragic fault.

Only a twisted mind can reason like that and make that kind of lustful affirmations. Jamie Lannister already went through the process I described some posts before: he discovered the blessings of having a Nordic lady by his side (assuming Brienne comes from the Westeros' equivalent to Denmark or Sweden) and couldn't help but falling in love with her. And hypnotic regression sessions can be useful in certain cases, like when an army of little young cousins is coming for lunch to you place. If you can't beat them, join them.

He couldn't help it because his sister wasn't around. Oh his dirty, dirty, dirty sister... And hypnotic regression sessions can be useful in certain cases, like when an army of little young cousins is coming for lunch to you place. If you can't beat them, join them. Thanks for the idea. I've got an army of little second cousins, 3/4 of which are young enough to be my own kids. Now that I think of it: how in the hell did we make it through childhood without straining our necks regularly? You'd think we would have by constantly looking up.

An interesting review that seems neither positive nor negative. Mostly middling veering towards positive I'd say. I’m glad it isn’t just me that is reminded of the old Simon games with the OOTB cover!
I’m not sure that the reviewer is that familiar with ELO, their work or their history. Comparing OOTB to the disco trend is pretty fruitless as even Jeff’s “disco” LP Discovery doesn’t venture too far down that route. It sounds as if the reviewer is trying to sell the album to people who have never bought an ELO record before (and perhaps never will again).
What's so cheesy about 'Roll Over Beethoven' ? I didn't even think people used the word "cheesy" back in the early 70s. And, anyway, back in the 'ROB' days I'm sure ELO would have been seen as being a much cooler band than OOTB era ELO. When the reviewer says that the LP “even includes the triumphant "Mr. Blue Sky", deservedly exhumed in the past few years by the hipster cognoscenti as a perfectly weird slice of gaudy, over-the-top FM-dial pop” he is quite right. The song is worthy but modern listeners who put so much emphasis on the track need to be schooled in more than just the popular tracks.
Slightly off at a tangent here but what really pisses me off is when you get into a conversation with someone about music, they tell you their favourite band(s), you mention a song of said band, and they invariably come back with "Oh that's the worst song they ever made".
Now don't get me wrong, when I say that my favourite band is ELO, they often say "Oh, didn't they sing Mr Blue Sky". My reply is along the lines of "yes, that's their most famous song but not the best". I certainly don't say its the crappest song they ever made.
Sorry, back on topic................................ Agreed, and I would even say that Out of the Blue itself is the album equivalent of "Mr. Blue Sky". Both are awesome, yet both receive more attention than is needed. I always say that too. It gets pretty tiresome repeating to everyone that 'MBS' is great but there are better ELO tracks. In my experience those that like 'MBS' will know the song but not actually know the band. If I mention ELO to anyone it's usually either Jeff or the free OOTB spaceship that gets mentioned before 'MBS'!
I agree with what Rob said. And I sometimes wonder if 'MBS' and OOTB didn't get as much attention as they do whether we'd still think of them as "ELO's best".

I'd probably still rank Out of the Blue highly, but one of the problems with the album is that it casts a large shadow over the others because of (as was mentioned) the attention it has gotten from the mainstream. Face the Music, for instance, is a better album IMO, but receives about 1/10th of the attention and recognition.

It must be the spaceship - it casts a huge shadow over ELO's image. Now that the spaceship seems to be ELO's logo (rather than the lightbulb) there's no escaping OOTB.

F**k off Helmet you c**t...dont call me a pervert...you are the one snagging on about these women...

Less use of the strong swear words and name calling please, and if we can't be nice to one another then stick to the threads topic

F**k off Helmet you c**t...dont call me a pervert...you are the one snagging on about these women... Joke explanation (I didn't think I would have to do this, but here I go...): Rob 2095 copied by mistake my message as if it had been yours. He inadvertently put all of those things I said about Nordic women inside your dialog box, so it looked as if you had said them. I took advantage of Rob's mistake and said that about your comment as if it had truly been yours (which of course I know it wasn't, because I knew it was mine), but I was -supposedly without knowing- talking about myself really... I was the pervert, I was the twisted mind and I made the lustful affirmations. It was a matter of someone coming and saying "Hey, Helmut... I think it was you who said those things...". So the joke was on myself. Get it? I thought it wasn't so elaborated or difficult to get, but anyway, I won't do this kind of jokes again unless I'm really sure there is someone more used to sense of humour on the other side of the screen. My mistake for trying a joke on someone I don't know, but it happened that Rob's mistake involved you, thewordsofaaron. And sorry Horace & Co. for having disturbed the forum's usual order. As the reasons above explained show, I didn't mean to.

Oh my... I don't know whether to start bursting out laughing or to bang my head against the desk and consider myself a genuine dunce.
Helmut, thewordsofaaron, my apologies to the both of you. I just reviewed page 2 of the thread and realized my mistake in mixing up the usernames of the two of you when quoting.
Again, I apologize. It was an honest but clumsy mistake.

Not your fault, Rob 2095; anyone can make a mistake (even you). I "fell into it" on purpose trying to make a joke and it came out badly. Nothing to apologize about for you IMO.
