How are they "underrated"? They have had a perfectly solid share of fame and success and made history forever.

[@mabelbabel9649]

Just stop it with the stupid underrated/underappreciated comments on bands that are internationally recognised and famous. ELO have sold more than 50 million records worldwide, they are one of the biggest selling bands in music history. They've had 27 top 40 hits in the UK, 15 in USA, and they're inductees of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You might have just discovered them, but they've been recognised as a superbly talented and successful group since 1970, and have never been underrated.

[@oliolsen9011]

This song was very popular in 1983. I had my last summer holiday from navigational college. I went on holiday with my girlfriend, took the ferry from the Faroes to Scotland and drove down the UK to Dover over to France, proceded to Paris and then up to Denmark and on the ferry back to the Faroes, 5 weeks holiday. In December that year I graduated as a master mariner, and exactly two years after our stop in Liverpool, I took my first command on a chemical tanker in Stanlow, 4th July 1985. Now I am a bureaucrat in the City of London, fast approaching retirement, when I move back to the Faroes. When we came to Scotland in 1983 Moonlight Shadow with Maggie Reilly was the great hit, but as we drove on this song became the big hit. 24th May we celebrate our 36 years wedding anneversary. One week later my wife turns 60, an event we celebrate in Benidorm.
