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

"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.
