Oh man, that was the golden age. That was the age of Journey, Boston, Wings, The Cars, Rush, Heart and on and on. Then you had the mellow "AM Gold": Bread, Player, Ace, Ambrosia, America, etc., etc.Never heard of this group or song before today and I just finished going down the wikipedia rabbit hole for ELO while streaming A New World Record. What a great time to be a music nerd with an internet connection!
Who would you guys consider to be some of ELO's contemporaries or artists of a similar time and style?
Go listen to the Guardian's of the Galaxy soundtrack for a great cross section of tunes from that era. My kid's loving Mr. Blue Sky cranked on the stereo was an unexpected happy surprise from watching GotG with them.Never heard of this group or song before today and I just finished going down the wikipedia rabbit hole for ELO while streaming A New World Record.

Since I'm old I get to say "Today's music is crap! Get off my lawn."
Wow, really a great song. I think I could do without the strings but harmony singing over a nice melody like this makes me just happy.
