I was listening to an AM radio station a few years ago and came across a really good instrumental track that sounded as if it were from the late 50′s or early 60′s. It was a very calm song, in 4/4 time with triplets, the way so many popular songs were at the time. The [...]

I remember an LP (I thought by ELO) in 1972, the cover of which had a surrealistic picture of a woman with a shaved head and light bulbs on the end of chords coming out of her head. Can anyone remember who this was by?. I thought it was ELO but have looked at all [...]

Listening to the music channel yesterday, I heard the Hoosier’s song, "Mr A". To me, it sounded a lot like "Mr Blue Sky" by ELO (Electric Light Orchestra). I’m not just saying this because of the title… they just sound very similar to me. What does everyone else think?
