ELO

[ed_pete]

Probably one for the irrational rage thread but why has "ELO" been rebranded "Jeff Lynne's ELO" ?

[Jah Lush]

EGO

[red devil]

OHNO!...

[DovertheRoad]

I don't care what they're called.Or that for years they were uncool (and still are to some). I love ELO. See you at the O2 fellow fans.

[Salsaboy]

I think because he's about the only one left. New album is great. Harks back to the old stuff.

[bonniebird]

Probably because, when I saw them years back, they had someone else as the lead singer, the name escapes me, but now he's back yay!

[Jeremy]

Yeah, probably to :

a) Highlight that JL is actually in it, unlike some other incarnations

b) distinguish it from other "reunion" acts featuring other original members

[FJDGoose]

First album (the one with Roy Wood on ) was great ☺

[steveo]

I'd rather see Roy

[malumbu]

Due to branding. I Think there was an ELO two without JL.

There were two versions of Boney M, and many other bands have wrangles over the name.

They seemed to have put him and Noel Edmonds into a cryogenic chamber as they still look the same as in 1977. Which ironically was the last time either were any good.

Time to move on ladies and gentleman

M - purchaser of three ELO albums in the 70s. And they were left buried in the 70s

Creepy fact - one of the ex minor members died a few years ago when a hay bale came off a trailer and went through his windscreen.

Nice one, FJDGoose. One of Paul Weller's best tracks, that.

Arf! For once I have to agree with you.

[DovertheRoad]

That chord progression? Surely copyright Johann Sebastian Bach, 1723.

Don't understand the Paul welled reference -did he cover it or something ?

[red devil]

Similar sounding to this PW track...

 

[FJDGoose]

Ah yes- I get it now

[Jeremy]

Yep, Weller ripped it off!

(I actually quite like it though)

[red devil]

He's got previous...
