[\quote]The writing was on the wall by this point, only one more contractual obligation album to fulfil.... Although in fairness, Jeff worked for a very long time on it. It may have been a means to an end, but he obviously cared about it.

It’s the 50-year anniversary of one of ELO’s greatest hits! “Showdown” was recorded in London at Air Studios and has been featured on screen in films such as Kingpin (1996) and Wild Hogs (2007). Do you remember the first time you heard this ELO staple? http://instagram.com/p/CxMD-Q4MN5n

It was hearing this song early 2016 that yanked me back into ELO mania.

And I'm sure that if something like this were published by Jeff, you would be the first to criticize the material as weak and substandard. ;-)

It says " Eldorado, A Symphony by The Electric Light Orchestra", not Jeff Lynne's ELO. It's 49, not 50 years. Several conceptual albums?! Only 2, Eldorado (1974) & Time (1981) All songs from the Eldorado album are among my favorites! http://instagram.com/p/Cxv_hfbL3Gl www.facebook.com/reel/1158063221835135Released 50 years ago today, the Eldorado album was the first of several conceptual albums to be written and released by Jeff Lynne’s ELO. With inspiration from his everyday life, Jeff developed characters and storylines through song to take listeners on a musical journey into his world. What’s your favorite song from the Eldorado album? | Jeff Lynne | Electric Light Orchestra · Can't Get It out of My Head
