ELO

[ceagle]

An ole friend (Telbert) sent me an ELO link, and I proceeded forth to listen to many of the old songs, enjoying along the way...
And then I came across this fave ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jUvhJ_Tgzw ...

I can hardly hold back the tears on that one (mixed, but mostly tears of joy)... it sends me back to so many times and places I cherished, and the song had been there with me....

hmmm... *rubs beaky chin* ..I'd say that's a fairly good comparison in some ways.... the pre-disco BeeGees did have a very different sound than they did later, yep.
Perhaps a minor difference in the comparison is that ELO had sophisticated arrangements all along the way. Also whereas the BeeGees had "two" sounds perhaps, I'd venture that ELO had at least "three", ...their pre-NewWorldRecord sound, then their middle era starting with that one, and then a more "synth" sound later starting with BalanceOfPower.
