Jeff Lynne Archives: 06/2026
The 1945 song Jeff Lynne thought he would never make “in a million years”
Going outside his comfort zone.
The 1977 album Jeff Lynne thought could never be topped: “There was no way”
The perfection nothing can compare to.
The 2012 album Jeff Lynne called the most beautiful songs: “Just thrilled”
The more eclectic side of him.
The best writer the Traveling Wilburys ever had: “He could make it better”
The great lyrical genius.
The 1988 Jeff Lynne song that the rock icon he wrote it for couldn’t stand: “Intensely disliked”
The Beach Boys and ELO combined.
The 1980s band Tom Petty would have played with in a heartbeat: “We thought we had time”
Never losing that spark.
The 1977 lyrics too terrible for Jeff Lynne to use: “I hate that”
Considerably worse than he was used to.
