ELO ¦ Turn to stone

[@TimAllenDJHITMANROCKS]

I think their music still sounds relevant today. They were definitely under appreciated.

[@jawoody9745]

+Tim Allen Oh yes. They are!!! Jeff is a genius!

[@nealdesai8779]

+Tim Allen absolutely timeless

[@MikeJones-oe3do]

Under appreciated ? They were huge.

[@SApcGUY]

Their music is absolutely timeless without a shadow of doubt. It's quite amazing to think that people would still be able to listen to this music hundreds of years from now (assuming we don't destroy ourselves and the planet by then :P )

[@leuby23]

Fortunately for us - and future generations - good music doesn't date. Jeff Lynne was no slouch as a sound engineer, hence the fidelity of the tracks; Vocals, guitars, the classical elements....fantastic songs recorded brilliantly.....Stunning.

[@dimsumboy22]

its interesting, i've never heard of ELO, but listening to their songs, it seems like i've been listening to them for my whole life

[@laudibus1]

+dimsumboy22 yes it is so, very goood comment from yours god save you

[@sarahp884]

I feel the complete same way. My dad introduced me to them (along with dire straits) it's so uplifting. Puts me in an instant great mood! Back when music was real lyrics and instruments

[@soleast1075]

For graduation in 1977 in Hollywood CA my mom and dad bought me a Dashon 200sx and I wore ELO with my compact cassette in Griffth Park getting stoned Listening to Turn to Stone.

[@qixotical]

My Mom and Dad let me pick my 10th birthday present....Out of the Blue was it. I can't help but think I chose wisely.

[@FoneStar78]

This song takes me back to when I was negative three years old. You should have seen me out on the tiles, grooving on the dance floor.

[@jerry59s]

When I turned 21 (1982), my brother gave me the acetate disc with the best ELO hits. I'll never forget it, it's the best of the music I've heard

[@polexia87]

My best childhood memories include ELO music. Love them and always will, I'm 25 and I'm so proud that despite that a LOT of my friends only know about "modern music", I grew up with this music and enjoy it.

[@Valcali2024]

No matter you ran out of ideas for the video, still this band will always rock and the song! Nothing will ever replace the music from the 70's, some good times and wonderful music thank you for posting a true classic.

[@paulagwhyte1720]

I've listened to ELO all my life. And they are FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!!

[@inasez]

This song is why I formed a turtle stomping fetish in the 70's and 80s. "I turtle stomp when you are gone, I turtle stomp!" I wish they had enunciated more clearly.

[@lauriewithey7968]

hilarious!

[@jamesp2333]

lol

[@archstanton7137]

+inasez no turtles were harmed in the making of this comment

[@archstanton7137]

+inasez only if you were wearing winkle pickers

[@chambersja]

+inasez 9/10 I had a good chuckle.

[@AnthonyDelRay]

Another ELO classic that has been playing on the Wurlitzer in my brain for nearly 35 years. What a wonderful contribution to modern music.

[@AM1041]

FEEL GOOD MUSIC. THE HARMONIZATION IS AWESOME!

[@MrEholtonjr]

I Want To Thank Y'all For Bringing Back The Music I Love So Much By ELO I Love Country Music But Don't Take Away My Steely Dan,Kansas,Atlanta Rhythm Section But Do Not Take Away My ELO Cause That Is The Number One Band In America And So Are The Osmonds And The Jacksons But ELO Rocks Out Y'all.

[@barbarasarro]

The music from the 70's is the absolute best in my opinion. There's nothing today that hold a candle to most of these bands.

[@AtsfMike559]

And not a one of them is from me- because this i one of my favorites of ELO. Grew up with the band on the radio. Thanks for the great memories. Mike in Fresno, Ca.

[@frankreading793]

This is a great song and good melody top notch. A very enjoyable and great listening ELO one of the top bands ever.

[@epsy7176]

Jeff Lynne is the one of the greatest music producers to ever live.

[@tinataylor1896]

This is a band I would love to see live. I just turned 40 and grew up listening to them

[@markandersh]

I'm 55. I remember when this album came out. Awesome!

[@donsgotmoney]

I can remember this album as clear as day. ELO into the blue. It was the first album i ever bought with my money. There were a lot of good songs on this album. I played this song so many times i actually wore out the needle of my brothers turntable. It was a sansui turntable with a marantz receiver, with the big pioneer cabinet speakers. What a simple time to live, Thanks for sharing this.

[@tamparocks]

Saw this Tour in Toronto and it was Fantastical.

[@cheekylibs]

wow nearly 100k views i just want this amazing band to still get the recognition they still deserve TODAY.

[@harveypowell3995]

Good times brings back a lot of good memories

[@vertalikis]

Hey Libbie & Archie!! Thanks for uploading this ELO tune...I listen to ELO and 70's stuff on Sundays (especially old American Top 40 reruns w/Casey Casem Helps to decompress and unwind after a hard weeks work... ;~} ... o and btw, HUGE congrats on your jumping horse today...I subscribed to a few of the ones you subscribed to so I can check their uploads as well when I get rich and Famous and buy my horse ranch in Malibu ...woohoo!!!!

[@jamesmack7713]

O.K. Yes, they have an abundance of great songs! Some I really like - like this one!

[@Pinkzombie67]

ELO... man... reminds me of high school, I hated high school.... but loved this music, and believe it or not, listening to these guys and all the others was my escape! I own the movie Xanadu, my all time favorite movie! Foreigner, BOC, Styx, Heart, Cheap Trick, just to name a few. Thank you uploader! ;0)

[@lynneunderwood2937]

Love all of Jeff's tunes...this being my fave

[@Conman2413]

Wow time flies. I remember my denim jacket, with my Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon patch sewn on the back. ELO rocks!

[@jason75]

Ya had pink floyd to that, and iron madien, and metellica. Class of 86 here man. Yep time flies, getting old

[@johnhintz4760]

The Jean jacket is still the Greatest Fashion thing since Bo Donaldson and the Heywood's.. It never goes out of style,Never.:-!

[@arcticnorthernlights]

I don't know why this song popped up in my brain after probably 35 years later. Thanks God we have KZbin.

[@FastPonyGT]

It's ok folks, the 42 dislikes were turned to stone.

[@btrainiscool]

maybe thats for the minute of dead air after the song plays

[@SHATTERBLAST1983]

bTRAIN_tv 2! minutes. 2

[@tipheretrose]

hahaha...good one...I turned to stone when you were gone...

[@Natareepaige]

Hahahaha good one!

[@tipheretrose]

By that Evil woman in Zanadu

[@carolwalker2974]

AS a former Trucker i rolled a many a mile listening to ELO , and this makes me wanna get back out there and do what i do best . Hubby dont wanna run OTR any more but if possible i plan to go back to it and have ELO along for the ride .

[@916fanatic1]

Ahhhhhh............Reminds me of the late 70's early 80's.So much great music came out in those years.

[@LordoftheDuh]

A friend turned me on to ELO and I can't stop listening to their music now! It's amazing, I didn't think that anybody else in my school liked music like this, and I'm glad I became friends with him and he introduced me to ELO. (:

[@tomkassan248]

"Turn to Stone"...the anthem of all Medusa's ex-boyfriends.

[@DutchTraveler24]

this is timeless music. i love it. from a 25 years old holland boy

[@markadams958]

another great number from a great group!

[@bobbyvoegtlin3163]

THIS ONE REMINDS ME OF MY SON! SO LOST WITHOUT HIM

[@HBombAplomb]

Bobby Voegtlin ♥️God bless you

[@Fitzmartel]

I remember having this song on the radio many times in the winter of '77-'78 while driving around in the frequent snowfalls.

[@taradog1100]

Absolutely brilliant, everyone needs to listen to ELO they were amazing x

[@ShellTrek]

Loved ELO. Also enjoyed their creative LP Record assembled model. Jeesh: I miss the LP days! It was like a Surprise Package: An Album & an additional surprise!

[@cheekylibs]

Will be uploading two more ELO tracks today so keep your eyes peeled

[@dyanadario6866]

love love love ELO can't wait till September in New York at Radio City Music Hall with my best friend

[@MOPE540]

during my teen years in the 70s, heard more ELO than anything else...THIS WILL NEVER GET OLD

[@1rgam3r]

I had this album. Wore it out. Side B was incredible. "Concerto for a Rainy day" Thanks for putting this up. I'll have buy all my ELO music again... digi. ;D

[@Cindee-Schnitman]

I was like 4 when this came out..why do I love it so much? Idk I grew up on it I guess..thanx mom and dad.

[@pabloperezgutierrezdevelas1733]

Why isnt' elo already in the hall of rock? Pure genius

[@1963builder]

thanks for uploading all these great records what an awesome group

[@nicholasmccauley1655]

Everytime I hear this song in a department store. I dance. thats real talk.

[@SHATTERBLAST1983]

i wanna play this again! its in my head a lot, ...like, weekly. i swear. i just sing this randomly allll the time. DANCE!

[@katehelfrich204]

Great sound quality. Thank you.

[@stevo728822]

Love this track. Love this album. Still got it on vinyl.

[@amsxXxevo8]

How in the hell did i not know of this song? 28 and just now hearing this song. This is gold!!!

[@JayWhitehead]

Libs, your taste in music is extraordinary!

[@owenevans83]

BLOODY HELL THEY'VE CHANGED THE KZbin LAYOUT!

[@missmonaro]

Makes me want to get in my car and drive! Great band great driving tune

[@masteraxe]

This has to be one of my favorite ELO song ever

[@mattsince69]

A timeless hi-fi classic. Sweet lyrics and otherworldly sound. Totally unique and in a class by itself, this fucking group...you can always tell when it's ELO. Check them out in real old school headphones--eargasms guaranteed!

[@urbanburglary]

I love the three-minute silence at the end.

[@skyprop]

Love the visuals on this

[@crobarus]

We didn't realize how good these guys were until they were gone

[@Flatchlenter]

All of their songs are so good!

[@happypowder123]

i agree 100% with Peyotea. and thanks so much for posting this.

[@missmandinho]

@cheekylibs i love elo..my bro had loads of their stuff when i was little n they just remind me of happy days . thanks you :-) x

[@666Levay]

does anyone else think this band was wayyyy ahead of there time? They are so freakin musically creative, far more complex than most bands of their time. go ELO!

[@jeandoudies]

Désolé c'est en français: mon seul regret est de les avoir raté de quelques jours en concert à Paris en 1984. ELO n'a pas et ne sera jamais remplacé. Ils auront été après les Beatles le plus grand groupe de pop music de l'histoire. Ne les oublions jamais !!!!!!!

[@AstroSam66]

So Geil! Ich glaub ich muss mal wieder die alten Vinyl Platten rausholen :-)

[@billofalltrades1468]

What an awesome sound!

[@tapiaassasin]

@learue8 It was most certainly a compliment.If you type in "John Lennon and ELO" into the search bar,you will come across an audio clip of John on some radio show where he's doing an intro for the Showdown record,which he declares a "great record" and refers to them as a "nice group" and calls them "son of beatles".He obviously was a fan.

[@671Joel]

ELO...Candy for my ears!

[@69ssrszl1]

A most incredible band of tue 70's way ahead of their time.

[@Casino127]

Absolutely brilliant what a classic

[@maxmoonstone]

This is (seriously) first ever song I heard on vinyl, I was 5 back then (89). I wasn`t allowed to touch my fathers HiFi but I was a clever beast and managed to turn it on when my parents were in work. I chose ELO because of the Flying Saucer on the cover and Turn to Stone came out first...love it to this day.

[@JDODSON7]

Had the Beatles stayed together through the 70's, ELO is what they would have sounded like.

[@scubarulz]

@technocrash09 You are very astute! I also agree; Time was not only my favorite ELO work, but in my opinion the most underrated album ever! It's encouraging , however, that I've read from several sources that it is highly regarded as one of the top 10 concept albuums in rock history. Read somewhere that Jeff Lynne was disappointed that Time wasn't better received by public in general. a brilliant album!

[@instantkarma257]

this is the best song i have ever heard in my life

[@BananaJSSI]

@ShellTrek Yes indeed! I have always been a big LP collector and I have a few ELO albums in my collection. Albums were much more fun than plastic CD's.

[@strawberryrobin]

I've been laughing for ten minutes over your comment. Thank you, you've made my day :D

[@Imptheshrimp]

I have Out of the Blue on vinyl, and while I wasn't too impressed at first, it really grew on me. I'd have to say it's better then the likes of ELO II or OtTD, although I personally like those two albums more. More clear, put-together and melodic. Absolutely a blast to listen to, and Concerto for A Rainy day cannot be beat.

[@blueharry63]

This is such a fantastic song! Love it!

[@Getrealpeeps]

I LOVE THIS SONG THIS TAKES ME BACK SOOOOO MANY YEARS..... I see 8 people have turned to stone

[@johnhewlett8203]

Nice too hear that young people actually do appreciate good music like thiss

[@ZSProductionStudio]

Used this in one of my shorts...such a legit song!

[@sothiac5]

Cracking record and a fantastic band

[@sonners2239]

great sound quality,cheers for your upload

[@RetroCool73]

Proto-synthpop, and let nobody tell you any different. They may have been hairy & bearded muso's but this track more than other points the way to the 80s. A very brave choice for a single & opening track in 1977 - and, for all it's qualities as a song, a very under-rated performance.

[@ilove1994]

I loved this song as a kid good memories & i have this album by ELO its awesome & my favorite album.

[@terezka72trebor]

@kesha8869 and also confusion and turn to stone..what a great songs!have you seen the concert with live violins on dvd elo with blue ufo label..amazing! greetings from prague. :)

[@DamaramuHQ]

LOL, turtle stomp? Dammit! I can't un-hear that now! :D

[@paulboothman1]

Fuckin awesome band :)

[@rongenman]

oh crap!!! i thought it said too stoned to turn.....wow....finally glad to know the correct lyrics...been singing it since ever...

[@MrFelipe64]

love this song so much

[@jerry59s]

Cuando cumplí 21 (1982) mi hermano me regalo el disco de acetato con los mejores exitos de ELO. Nunca lo olvidare, es de lo mejor de la música que he escuchado

[@MikeyStabs]

The article "5 People Cheated Out of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. #2 is Jeff Lynn from ELO, and it specifically mentions this song. I've loved this song forever, but I had no idea that they have been shafted by the RaRHoF.

[@Notsmogsjay]

just brining back a great sound

[@mycatisromeo]

This is better than any of the crap "artists" are making today.

[@sarabower1]

awesome! good for you! great taste you have

[@Gustaf899]

My dad and i loves Turn to stone, one summer dream and fire on high :D and i LOVE it!!!!!!!

[@MarkKlingon]

If you don't think this song rocks, and sounds great...well, there must be something wrong with you.

[@AnnieBoBannie421]

This sucks!! And what's wrong with me is I have taste and standards!! Searching for a specific song from the '70s and it has to be the worst shit pile excuse for music....ever!!! Will jump for joy when I find THE song and am not tortured any longer!!

[@MarkKlingon]

@@AnnieBoBannie421 Sorry you don't enjoy it. The song always gets the biggest applause during their live concerts...from everybody.

[@agrlfmtx]

I SO had a yellow ELO t-shirt that I wore everywhere I went when I was a teenager! ha...:)

[@captbill279]

This is what was I was listening to to when I was 7. Like time travel.

[@Velocity9s]

HOLD IT! Queen is QUEEN and E.L.O. is E.L.O. They were great groups for DIFFERENT reasons. Nuff said!

[@tigerlove8299]

Love E.L.O. and this song....:). :)
