ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA - Sweet Talkin' Woman | FIRST TIME HEARING REACTION

[@mikeb3365]

Lennon was asked what the Beatles would sound like if they hadn't broken up, he said just listen to ELO

[@mikeb3365]

@@allendixon7700 Sorry, lost in translation.

[@amyk9175]

One of my all time favorites - can’t listen without shaking my shoulders and moving my feet, smiling from ear to ear.

[@davidmckenzie420]

ELO always a good choice.

[@kimberelyanngunter6341]

ELO reminds me of an endless Summer in 1978. Been a fan for 45 years!

[@garygoodrich7495]

Love ELO!!! No other band sounded like them...everything about their sound was perfect!!!!

[@simonfootie6255]

Absolute

[@bobwoolerOriGinal]

Except maybe for I Am the Walrus and Strawberry Fields Forever (ELO's first albums was basically based on those two songs according to Lynne).

[@soulgalorememories9921]

I honestly don’t know anyone that dislikes ELO, they may not be big fans, but if a band can reach this level of acceptance then they should be prouder than proud. This particular tune is almost pop perfection, simple can be used as a negative , but Jeff Lynne has made it into an art form.

[@kevinBarr-gy5go]

You can't listen to ELO without smiling

[@swfcocs1]

Guy has got ELO face going on for sure lol

[@simonfootie6255]

❤

[@user-Spicoli]

My favorite band of all times. Absolutely Brilliant

[@simonfootie6255]

Yes

[@kathyedleman633]

Check out "Can't get it out of my Head ".✌️

[@luvutons411]

Fantastic ELO...loved this band since I first heard them in the 70s. Saw them live once in mid 80s...what a sound live...fabulous. Another great pick Shawn..definitely "groovy" work from Jeff Lynne and band...🎤🎶👍

[@richw7743]

One of the best bands. Jeff Lynne is a genius.

[@BrendaMorgan-ne7fu]

Oh man! I got this album when it came out! The whole thing is great.

[@stephanie.r382]

This song was my introduction to ELO back in 1978 and I still have the 7 inch purple vinyl single! Great reaction Shawn!

[@FrankUli]

Shawn another great choice, you have some really good people given advice, as always thank you for sharing this with all of us.

[@alchemy-oi8xf]

The joy on your face says it all, Shawn. 🤩 It feels so good and satisfying when younger people discover, appreciate, and enjoy the music that really has been the soundtrack of so many of our lives. Great music needs to live on, and thanks so much for doing your part.

[@tjerwin1]

ELO I just like to Rock out to after all these years. They bring back so many memories of the past. As I said before there is so much from the past that it makes me miss growing up in the 70's. I am just grateful to have the memories. Thank you so much for the memories.

[@lauraallen55]

Forgot - you must watch a live of their cover of Roll Over Beethoven. It's of the chain.

[@lauraallen55]

Yes, Jeff Lynne had his hands all over all ELO songs; songwriter, singer, player of many instruments, producing, you name it. If he wanted to write a pop song, he wrote a pop song! There are so many more for you to hear of theirs and I'm here for all of them. For something different and much later try Long Black Road if you're craving a little more drums. Turn To Stone was Jeff's favorite to play, Can't Get it Out of My Head is different still, and so good. Confusion, Starlight, Shangri-La, oh! Do Ya! So many ELO songs, so little time. :D

[@phillipridgway8317]

Jeff Lynn has total control over his songs. Apart from writing and performing, he is a music producer, and has produced albums for many top artists.

[@jameshunter7303]

You must do shangri-la by these guys

[@LordEagle]

ELO is just good stuff. 👍👍👍💥😎

[@scottrbloom]

Cool to listen to the various vocal harmonies in counterpoint throughout. He had his his own way of arranging to sound like the old Motown Wall of Sound concept.

[@ЕвгенияТолокнова-г7ю]

Moment in Paradise ❤️

[@RichardBain-lm1fh]

Jeff Lynne was the driving force behind ELO, he had the lead role in writing, producing, and singing, and he arranged many aspects of the band's music. While ELO did feature many other talented musicians, his contributions to the sound and success of the group was crucial.

[@jenniferfoster1692]

ELO was on the radio all the time throughout the 70s with hit after hit. Their music was just in the air, was so distinctive & was just a part of our lives.

[@DavidJones-wr3sb]

This was the first ELO single that i bought in September 1978 and I was hooked straight away, got the album out of the blue as a Christmas present 1978. Been a massive fan since

[@frankjones297]

I love Night in the City.

[@dizastro5437]

❤ ELO. So much quality, so much class. A tune for any mood.

[@colinblack7170]

Try a listen to ' Midnight Blue ' from the Discovery album, a wonderful soothing, hypnotic melody from jeff.

[@Nana_Reads]

Totally forgot about this song ! Sooo good!

[@threekidzmom04]

This was my favorite song to listen to when I was on the elliptical. Great music!!

[@pamnicklas5536]

This was a huge album!!

[@clifton8929]

I saw ELO as an opening act with Savoy Brown back in the early 70s (72 or 73), and it was so different and unique that you knew they were gonna big in the music business. They had that specific something that you could feel in the music. Thanks for hitting ELO again; I always love your commentary and views on the music. I recommend that everyone always listen to you until the very end of the videos. You're so good at what you do - great job.

[@eviekelpie1]

I love this one from ELO, and also Ladt train to London. However, you must really do Evil Woman, live in concert. The violin part is dope

[@alchemy-oi8xf]

Earlier, I forgot to suggest these two ELO bangers that I don't believe you've done yet--"Don't Bring Me Down" and "Turn to Stone". You can keep the magic goin'! :)

[@jodyjackson5475]

ELO always always gives me some serous Chillzz ❤

[@spacefanatic]

Jeff Lynne (who comes from my home City of Birmingham, UK) is a great singer and producer. E.L.O have loads of great songs and sound just as good live as they do on the studio versions. My favourite song of theirs is 'All Over The World' which is such a happy song. There are loads of videos on You Tube with flash mobs dancing to this song.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

Loads?? Just one. But yes, it is a great fan-made video.

[@tinacingrani5128]

❤💯

[@christarpley6861]

They had some really good songs

[@intothesunset3]

Love this song and loved this reaction😊 Another great one by ELO is "Telephone Line" (the Live at Wembley Stadium version is amazing).

[@jodyjackson5475]

Stunner that one. I love it so much ❤

[@hopeklemann1]

have you done telephone line by elo?

[@andrewclayton4181]

Not sure which ones you've covered exactly, but from the same era I can recommend - It's over, -Steppin out, and Wild west hero. They are a great band.

[@Fool3SufferingFools]

Jeff Lynne’s solo album “Armchair Theatre” was very good too.

[@swampfizz]

we love ELO reactions

[@iraidaacevedo3723]

Beautiful 🎼🎼♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@JohnSindelar-u9d]

Check out “Telephone Line” off the album. Another great one. Also “Fire on High”, their instrumental. Not what you’d expect!!

[@AmyR-p1h]

ELO always makes me think of Xanadu

[@joemachine4714]

Olivia's voice went well with ELO music. The movie was bad but the soundtrack was lit 🔥

[@wombatwilly1002]

Can't miss with ELO..!

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

Next from ELO, please react to their 1976 classic, *"Shangri-la",* you'll love it!

[@geniousatqw]

Your Music Mirrors Your Mind Song suggestion: Intro/Twilight Band/Artist: Electric Light Orchestra Alnum: Time Could this be the best concept album of all....?

[@stlmopoet]

Good review, not sure why you have your screen set for 3x4. I miss seeing you. 😊

[@firedoc5]

You cannot go wrong with Jeff Lynne and ELO.

Check out Last Train to London sometime 💚🎶🎵

Have you reacted to Hold Me Now by The Thompson Twins? Please do!!

[@hernanpatrik4908]

Escuche ELO "I am Alive"

[@Coastal15]

Most bands/artists at some point turn out a GREAT track, ELO/Jeff Lynne produced them by the album load.

[@dennispower5362]

Try LAST TRAIN TO LONDON. say no more ☮️🇦🇺🥗

[@simonfootie6255]

ELO THE BEST

[@MJ1]

ELO is wonderful. But they would have been so much greater if their heyday didn’t align with the emergence of disco. Imagine all these songs with more complex rhythms, being more integral to the overall sound. It’s hard to name an ELO song and point to a great “drummer moment”. It’s all great, but disco kills kids.

[@windymiller6908]

Agree about the disco thing, at least as far as ELO is concerned. In my opinion they peaked on Face The Music and there are some good tracks on A New World Record, but after that....uh uh

[@lauraallen55]

Disco kills kids?! Oh wow, never knew it killed children. :D

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

ELO made ONE disco song, "Last Train To London". If you wanna add to that short list, "Shine A Little Love", I'll give that to you, even though it really does not fit the disco definition. You're confusing disco with pop. Did ELO transition from rock w/strings to pop w/strings over the years, yeah. And did Jeff eventually ditch the strings in favor of synths? Yeah. But they were never a disco band, good grief. smh As for great drummer moments, clearly you've not listened to, "Fire On High", or, "Hall of The Mountain King".

[@windymiller6908]

@@Cosmo-Kramer Shine a Little Love sounds very disco to me. Don't Bring Me Down is a contender too. The album title - DISCOvery very much implies Jeff Lynne's mode of thought with at least some of this album. That said, I do think the 'disco' thing is overstated and later albums were more pop than anything else. Me, I'm a fan of their earlier stuff as mentioned in my previous post. Along with Face The Music, which has a great blend of prog, pop and rock, I'm a big fan of the more proggy ELO 2 with it's heavy moog and raw overdubbed cellos.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@windymiller6908 "Don't Bring Me Down", is straight Rock, there's nothing remotely disco about it. And I'm not being defensive about the song, it's my least favorite hit they ever made. But it ain't disco. As for the album title, you're mistaken, Jeff named the album, Discovery, and it wasn't until keyboardist Richard Tandy, who wasn't a big fan of the way the band was getting away from Rock, called it, "Disco-very", that it even occurred to Jeff. You're the only chick I've ever heard of who didn't prefer ELO's later, lighter sound.
