Did the Traveling Wilburys rip off ELO for their first hit?
A bit too inspired by it.
ELO
The 1976 song Jeff Lynne could never fully enjoy: “It’s probably not as good”
Needing a bit more polish.
The 1973 song Jeff Lynne said was better than the original: “Our version is much heavier”
Taking classical music up a notch.
The ELO shows that Jeff Lynne wanted to forget about: “I didn’t like the way we sounded”
Not as special as he remembered.
“A lot of pretentiousness”: The song Jeff Lynne knew he should have never made
Not meant to be massive.
The story of ELO’s Spaceship: The comical prop that almost destroyed their live shows
“It wasn’t a comfortable experience…”
The album Jeff Lynne said was never going to beaten: “You don’t realise”
The best that it could ever get.
