ELO produced some great music back then.
There's no doubt about the popularity and world acclaim they achieved after "New World Record" and "Out of the Blue", but for me the first three albums were the best and most interesting.

This is the album that changed music for me.
From the opening power chord to the jazzy change to the keyboards, I was hooked on prog.

FYI: "Richtig gutes Zeug" means "real good stuff".

Massively underrated band. Love em.
They were great weren't they. Boston Tea Party was a quirky song for a Scottish band to sing.

It sounds to me like an insult that a stereotypical Sopranos-style Italian-American mafia crime family member would fling at another mobster. Probably with a hand gesture.

I'm not sure if you intended for that comment to come before an orchestra doing a rendition of "The Ecstasy of Gold" from The Good the Bad and the Ugly. But great choice and, as the Count said, R.I.P. Ennio Morricone.
To me, The Good the Bad and The Ugly is that score. When I hear it I see that fantastic scene in which the film spends about 3 weeks (or so it seems) just cutting between close ups of Clint Eastwood's, Lee Van Cleef's and Eli Wallach's eyes.

Excellent.
I found this the other day..
I'd not made much room for Genesis back in the day, as I was too busy with Pink F, Yes, Zep, Black Sabbath, ELP, ELO etc..
But check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0LLbkw ... BwkDSks6zS
Nad Sylvan out-sings Gabriel or Collins and make quite a spectacle of a superannuated guru.
Hackett is supreme as per..
