Thats really nice to read 😊😊😊

[@crismaccormac1228]

my favorite ELO album- when it came out I listened to the whole thing 5 time in a row, could not stop

[@norahdenovan8658]

Oh this is funny, it’s so strange to watch young people listening to music that we grew up with& know so well, good on you ❤

[@chris_debian5368]

The whole album is a must. Like Pink Floyd albums, this one is best enjoyed end to end. I really think Jeff Lynne (lead singer) could be onto something here, with this music stuff :-)

[@PaulOutdoors]

The boy has potential 🤔😊

[@suzannemurnane2714]

Hector = Happiness! You make the music 100x better which is hard to do with all the classics. Thank you for being you!!!!

[@jakerazmataz852]

Your not the first one to hit repeat more than once. 😁 This brings back memories.

[@v.j.3029]

The use of violins in modern music is what bring magic to the songs. Almost every disco songs use them, they add a heavenly vibe to them.

[@karengray662]

I’ve commented before about how you’ve picked me up after a bad day, but, today has been a good day & I find myself back here to enjoy 😊

[@annettemoore7264]

The joy on your gob..😳🥰 I remember feeling like that when it came out 👍 LIFE WAS FKN GOOD all of a sudden 😊 it makes ya wanna go hug a hoodie or something..🤣

[@johnpbh]

MARK.... I know what you love about the chorus.... If you listen carefully, in amongst all the guitars, violins, voices etc, etc.... someone is playing the spoons...!!! Yes, I promise you. They are. Keep on Rocking.

[@MiaMidol]

Brilliant reaction.

[@tattoojim444]

I totally love watching you react to the songs I grew up with 👍 I recommend " the WHO, reign o'er me" it will be awesome! You have my word 💥

[@dennytate26]

I'd recommend checking out The Traveling Willburys the Band features Jeff Lynne, the guitarist and vocalist of ELO, as well as Tom Petty, George Harrison, Roy Orbison, and Bob Dylan, all of them are legends in their own rights.

[@DarrellChambers-x3u]

Orchestral rock, this band had it. What a trip. Every song was different and made me explore so much more. Thank you again for the reaction!

[@anthonyellis3613]

Hey Mark. What a breath of fresh air you are! Your reactions to the two ELO songs (Shangri La and Livin’ Thing) are the stuff of legends. You are infectious and I was grinning from ear to ear throughout both of them. Totally made my day. ELO are my favourite band of all time and I look forward to more of your reactions to them. Much love

Yes! I HIGHLY recommend "Tightrope".

Need to react to them live at Wembly

[@Foghorn908]

They were the first band I ever heard of that had a string section. They are amazing.You should check out Mr Blue Sky Turn To Stone and Do Ya.

[@GarrettEulett]

A lot of us have been requesting he react to the Concerto for a Rainy Day, a four part suite that ends with Mr. Blue Sky

[@roystoyscomics1361]

I second the request for Concerto For A Rainy Day. Truly an awesome masterpiece.

[@Bassjohn1968]

I third it as well 😂😂

[@barba7521]

I was learning to play the cello when I discovered E.L.O. and I thought I had reached nirvana. And yes, they are an orchestra. The string tracks were all done with real players... not synthesizers. They are really f'ing amazing.

[@roxannlegg750]

Heres the truth mate - you react the way we all WANT to react, and secretly do at home. Both my hubbie I grew up on this - both our dads went to the same concert here in Australia in 1978 - a full electric lazer light show. We were still kids - but we passed this love onto our millenials and they rock to it as much as we and you do! Its physically impossible to sit still with ELO on!

[@mattmaloney2445]

Mark' s reaction and Livin' Thing' - - happy day!

[@carlosmagnasco2707]

Mark, bienvenido a los que amamos E.L.O en cualquier parte del mundo!!!! Bienvenido y a disfrutar!!!! Y gracias a vos por darnos tu buena onda!!!

[@peggysoutherland1183]

Hiya Hector, so glad you are enjoying ELO!

[@leestockton9367]

I love it when people see the name Electric Light Orchestra and listen to one of their tracks that has the orchestral introduction and then... Oh, and Jeff Lynne CAN go from orchestra to rock, he's a musical genius

[@GaryWayneHill64]

Music to heal the soul. That is ELO

[@robinarmour957]

Such an economy with words. I look forward to your next syllable with great eagerness.

[@tomasgonzalezmarin6118]

Higher and higher baby!! It's a Livin' thing! What an inmortal chorus man. And the violin's plucking (don't know if it is right said). An amazing classic and a beauty. That's with ELO. Pure magic. The ELO began with a lot of orchestral instruments in their songs, mixed with blues and rock&roll, some darker songs, progressive, balads and somehow they did a successful evolution to a kind of Disco music during the Bee Gees era; I think earlier. I was a little kid. But this song is much earlier than that. Also their album Discovey ('79) is like a legendary pre Disco album. You have to react to Last Train to London. You will be dancing, for sure. Regards from Chile!!

[@danielrausch]

OMG. What are the odds that you stopped the song the first time right before the the intro ended. Here I am waiting with a huge smile on my face for what's coming and then you stopped it!!! Perfect timing. No worries cause I got to see you the next time you played it through. Wonderful reaction. Really enjoyed it. Thanks.

[@tonyhunt4250]

My favorite ELO album New World Record. Kudos man. You bring the joy

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

Happy happy daze; 70's/80s were a gas. Danced my arse off and saw loads bands and discoed, bopped, funked and rocked a lot. Great times were had. I'm having one now too!

[@sharonmacias671]

Their stage rose up from some where. Had never heard of them. One of the best concert I've been to. I'm 69 now and we had the greatest music back then!!!!

I saw them in Sheffield with my favorite person in the world who is not here anymore. The best night of my life if i live a 1000 lifetimes.

[@mojobag01]

Jeff Lynne didn't come to play. He came to play. Please DON'T do Mister Blue Sky unless you do it as part of the full Concerto For A Rainy Day. You'll understand.

[@jswimeaden2365]

Yes yes yes YES.

[@BartdeBoisblanc]

Yes you must have Summer and Lightning!

[@Bassjohn1968]

And big wheels and standing in the rain 😂😂😂

[@BartdeBoisblanc]

@@Bassjohn1968 Ah yes big wheels I remember those.

[@jswimeaden2365]

For an upbeat number, Livin' Thing is actually about depression and loss. ELO frontman and songwriter Jeff Lynne wrote it after he was suffering from food poisoning, and it inspired him to write about how easy it is to take happiness for granted. Although he later said in an interview, "I wouldn't want anyone to think it's about a bad paella on a Spanish holiday." Thanks Jeff 🤣

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@wesalker3479 "Penultimate" means."2nd best". I think you meant to say it is the "ultimate" happy song, meaning it is the happiest song of them all.

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

I forgot to say before, a "light orchestra" is a scaled down smaller version. YW! x

[@teresaluz975]

This is my favorite ELO song. Loved your reaction.

[@x0539p]

We took for granted this wonderful music we grew up with thinking it would always be around but sadly it isn’t! Loved growing up on the music of the 70’s and 80’s. Love ELO.

What I love the most about your reaction videos is that you absolutely cannot watch them without smiling or laughing. This channel is medicine for my soul! I love your channel, you are so much fun to watch. I love watching a younger generation discover the music I grew up with. I don't care too much for rap, but I kept seeing Tom Macdonald show up on your channel so I gave "Fake Woke" a listen. Those lyrics were so hard hitting truth that I listened to all of his tracks on your channel. I bought his album just to help that artist thrive!! I can't wait for when you discover the likes of Steely Dan (Sign in Stranger, Show Biz Kids, Do it Again) or Robin Trower (Blue Soul, Fine Day, Time is Short). Keep it up my friend, you are my go to place to get cheered up after a long day at work!

[@peterhayden7136]

Once again you nailed this , I was in stitches , this tune … sheesh unreal

[@hernanpatrik4908]

I absolutely love this song, 1 of the best from ELO. Was great hit in US (#13) and UK (#4) ,1976.

[@lawrencesmith6536]

Jeff Lynnes' band which preceeded ELO was called the Move. Try their song/album Message From the Country

F1rst!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 TURN TO STONE!!!!

[@pangeatruth7773]

Remember Jeff Lynne wrote and arranged all 0f ELO songs. John Lennon of the Beatles called ELO "Son of the Beatles"

[@richteezer1]

This group had the most hits in the UK and USA between 1972 and 1986, so you have a lot to get through. Their album tracks are even better.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

To be accurate, you need to include the word, "combined". ELO had the most *combined* Top 40 Hits between the US and UK of any group from their inception in '72 to their disbandment in '86.

[@happynancybear8709]

Hector and his ELO is killin me, fuckin ell!

[@tafinzer]

Happy music from my childhood. 😊

[@davidlaws3582]

ELO are a great band with some fantastic songs to put a smile on our faces. I would strongly recommend Mr Blue Sky.

[@melanieredfield9736]

Saw them live in Chicago in '77....we had seats in the 7th row, center. Went to many concerts but ELO was probably my favorite, just great music in every way! You will love "Turn to Stone", "Telephone Line" and "Roll Over Beethoven".

[@Kellie_Curtis-Holmes]

This is your jam, and this is my ringtone ❤😂

[@phen277]

New World Record is, by far, my favorite ELO album. I still have my 1978 copy. The cover is a little worn but the record still sounds marvelous. I bought Out of the Blue next and then in '79 Discovery. Filled in the rest after that and eagerly awaited Time. I have to say that from Face the Music through Time was their golden era. And I'm crediting the addition of and contributions from Kelly Groucutt as the reason. Said it, believe it.

[@AntonioMorales-xf3oy]

Is a first time I see in the one same reaction the music is restarted 3 times and play 2 times by complete!!! Great!

[@simply_psi]

Mark, ELO was from my childhood, growing up in Birmingham, where they were from, they were everywhere in the 70's, songs like Strange Magic, Sweet Talkin Woman, 19538 Overutre, Mr Blue Sky, but next you should do Turn to Stone I think you'll love that

[@rubentullenaar2934]

Breath Hector 😂. Loved the reaction mate. Next “Telephone Line” “Eldorado Overture/Can’t get it out of my Head” and…. Don’t forget about Nightwish…? 😊

[@chronomatt6990]

Nice to see ELO music conquering the test of time and finding new generations of fans. ELO is slowly sliding up the scale to being in the company of rock’s greatest bands. Who would’ve thunk it 20 years ago?

[@ronbeck201]

You need to do "fire on high"

[@josephbologna4184]

Moody Blues - Forever Autumn. If you like ELO and Floyd. Moody Blues makes you feel like you're floating in space too.

[@davestewart2359]

Have a watch of some of the live concerts... The joy on the faces of the audiences as everyone sings along... "Telephone line" is good and you'll love "Mr Blue Sky"

[@80srocker67]

Last Train to London is a must.

[@PlasmaMongoose]

Electric Light Orchestra is literally a light orchestra with an electric twist, hence the name.

[@lorijohnston4311]

Jeff Lynne is a musical genius. You can't go wrong with anything by ELO. I would definitely recommend listening to Jeff's version of Telephone Line from Wembley in 2017. It's unbelievable -- not just the vocals which are INSANE but the music and light show. Please check it out. Also for happy music from ELO, you have to check out "Don't Bring Me Down." I'd also suggest my favorite happy song ever -- Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now." You can't help but feel great and dance to it. And for more orchestra sounds, go to The Moody Blues. "Nights in White Satin" and "The Voice" are my favorites. Your reactions are my favorite 10 minutes of the day!!

[@danobrien155]

You crack me up 😂😂 this is my teen music 7th grade ❤

[@lynnhoffman247]

Mr. Blue Sky 🔥🔥🔥

[@erinmoriarity4775]

Every place Jeff Lynne sings "I'm takin' a dive" in this song, my ex BF used to sing "I'm takin' a dump"-- and he would sing it with such sincerity that I laughed every fkkn time.

[@pierre-andrehentzien6003]

U r so much into it! Don't lose urself, buddy! 😀

[@1001Hobbies]

Can you imagine growing up as a teenager with this music being "typical" on the radio?? Yes, it was an incredible time. That's why music means so much to us old farts. What you are experiencing with this song was "expected" from music back then.

[@markwinstanley9901]

ELO were a great band, and in the seventies they had a three piece string section, so yea, a kind of mini-orchestra... As we moved into the eighties they ended up using synths instead of strings, and for many folks it was all over... but they still released some great albums

[@benvanderveen665]

Your reaction is super i got tears in me eyes. Great .

[@decoydave]

Respect to ELO as this is one of my favs from them but Mark you thing this is it. Wait until you react to Supertramp's song "Good Bye Stranger" love your reaction to ELO
