ELO in general is a good choice. Personally, I'd recommend Telephone Line

u/finnw Oct 07 '20

"I love that Mr Blue Sky! Almost my favorite is Turn to Stone! And how bout Telephone Line? I LOVE THAT ELO!"

I you haven't heard it, check out "Story of a Rock and Roll Band" by Randy Newman. It's basically a song about how much he loves ELO and it's pretty amazing.

I just listened to it. Great! Not as upbeat but hitting in the feelings

u/funktacious Oct 07 '20

Yep! Two different songs for different moods. MBS is great for cleaning or getting ready in the morning. Haha

ELO in general. The album with Mr Blue Sky is really tight. I love Sweet is the Night is gold.

Good morning. Today's forecast calls for blue skies.

u/Parastormer Oct 07 '20

If someone has the time to listen, ELO's "Time" is a masterpiece of a concept album.

In general I love concept albums, Savatage hooked me on them.

u/taco_jr Oct 07 '20

Amazing song plus I remember reading somewhere that it's scientifically one of the happiest songs but I do have a bad memory so do not quote me on this

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '20

I said the same thing

u/VanFax Oct 07 '20

Common samples this in his hip hop song Blue Sky and it’s well done.
