Twilight

WildRosie · 31/01/2022 13:15

Twilight was probably ELO's last good single. The group was beginning to sound repetitive and formulaic by 1981 but they lasted another five years or so.

I also liked Clog Dance by Mik Kaminski's spin-off project, Violinski.

Telephone Line

Most of their songs make me feel happy

Mr Blue Sky.

Take That used part of it in one of their live shows which is how I stumbled across ELO. Great running tracks.

SpinningTheSeedsOfLove · 31/01/2022 14:42

Livin' Thing takes me back a bit.

foodledoff · 31/01/2022 14:47

How about some 'Discovery' era disco?

Shine a little love
Last train to London

Both of those always put a smile on my face (as does Mr Blue Sky) :)
