I really like Electric Light Orchestra so I listen to them fairly regularly. The last album I listened to was “Out of the Blue”. It’s not my favorite ELO album (that would have to go to Eldorado), but it definitely has so many good songs on it.

I like ELO quite a bit. It’s like everyone loves their songs. You hear Mr. Blue sky in almost every film or commercial these days, but you never see kids wearing ELO shirts, like you see with AC/DC or Zeppelin.

Been revisiting the group that kind of pushed me acoustically. For years I was a metal guitarist, with an appreciation of classical music, but as far as guitar was concerned, my heroes were all rock guys. Fast noodling, hard shredding, and power chords. Then I was introduced to this duo when I watched The Graduate as a teen:

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme - Simon & Garfunkel
Minion

I love every album S&G put out, but I tend to play more tracks from this than others. That being said, I don’t think any of their albums differ too greatly at least in sound. There’s moments when the production might be a little bigger, but at their core, they are 2 men and a guitar singing impeccably to songs that have endured. These recordings are 50 years old, and still seem so fresh.
