[Music] ELO Lovers what is your favourite song ?

[Dave the OAP]

Showdown

 

[OzMike]

Midnight Blue.

 

[chip]

 

[alanfp]

Standing in the Rain
Across the Border

Both from Out of the Blue but I don't think that either of them were singles

 

[marlowe]

Very difficult to pick one over others, but if I really had to I would choose Mr Blue Sky because I have it as my feel good song.

I never really used to be into ELO or this song particularly but when I hear it now it really does actually lift my spirits

 

[B-right-on]

This.

I remember Jeff Lynne being interviewed years ago talking about writing the song. He said it had been raining for ages and then suddenly the sun broke through and the sky turned blue. It inspired him to write the song and he banged it out in some ridiculously short time (can't remember how long). Always added a bit extra to the song for me, that image along with the words.

What a talented bloke he is. Can't believe that it's 47 years ago it was released. Mad.
