ELO Acceptance Induction Speeches - 2017 Rock Hall Inductions

[@hannaj4032]

Why did it take so long? ELO was ahead of their time and Jeff is a genius. Everything he touches is musical gold. He should be recognized on his own too.

[@terrya8989]

Bullshit... Wood had gone by the time they hit it big. By the way, what the fuck has Roy Wood ever done since 'See My Baby Jive'?????? He should be embarrassed to be up there, must of been the free food and drinks.

[@pilesovinyl]

Groucutt, Kaminsky, McDowell, Gale, bloody Lynne thinks it was all about him. Total bullshit that he snubbed his great string players that MADE their distinct sound over the best part of their career. And Kelly Groucutt was tremendous. Not even a mention or a kudo? What an ass IMHO.

[@greitje50]

Glad to see Roy Wood up there! A genius man!

[@wasteofspace20]

Couldn't agree more.. Love that guy. He's a wonderful person as well.

[@lmp9726]

Roy can not only play multiple instruments, but he can play multiple FAMILIES of musical instruments--including brass, strings, woodwind, and percussion. On Annie Haslam's "Annie in Wonderland," Wood is credited with playing electric and acoustic guitars, bass guitar, string bass, mandolin, cello, balalaikas, saxophones, drums, bass clarinet, trumpet, African drums, percussion, string ensemble, Moog, piano, clavinet, backing vocals, and co-lead vocals on "I Never Believed in Love".

One of the Best Performances ever at the Rock Hall Of Fame! Long live ELO. Now Induct Jeff Lynne as a solo artist while he is still among us and well!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're very proud of you Jeff. We're also very proud of Roy, Bev, Richard, Kelly, Michael, other Michael, Mik, Hugh, Wilf, Steve, Bill, Melvin, Andy, Trevor, and Colin as well as anyone I missed in ELO. I am so glad to see such an underrated band finally get the recognition they deserve. Thank you for being there for me during all of those long high school nights when I needed you the most.

[@debradunn109]

ELO and Jeff Lynne’s music has helped me with depression and anxiety. I m so glad you guys made it to the rock n Roll hall of fame. Jeff Lynne you are a genius. Your music helps everyone. I love you

[@blueguitar8479]

Great to see Roy Wood there. Without him there never would have been an E.L.O..

[@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy]

True... though he left the group a third of the way into recording their second album (taking Bill Hunt and Hugh McDowell with him, though the latter would return a little over a year later), which makes Kelly Groucutt's snub from the group's induction kind of unfair.

[@KebabMusicLtd]

@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy There's a few other that could have been rightfully there, and I thought it sad that he didn't give a reference to some of them. I had all the albums from ELO to Out of the Blue and I still rate those albums as the classic ELO. I hated 'Shine A Little Love' and 'Horace Wimp' so never bought Discoverty...

[@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy]

@@KebabMusicLtd Frankly, the whole 'classic' lineup should've probably been inducted along with Wood, so Groucutt, McDowell, Kaminski, and Gale as well.

[@bepitan]

[@bertmustin]

One of my all time favorites but could be Jeff is't always Mr Blue Sky when it comes to business.

[@classicrockfan8034]

Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra from The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame site: "Picking up where the Beatles left off, ELO expanded the concept of great melodies, epic song structures and grand orchestrations. ELO added an exciting mix of elements into rock and roll, including disco rhythms and electronic studio wizardry. Imagine a marriage of tuneful, rocking pop songs with instruments from the symphonic realm, and you’ve got the blueprint for what made ELO one of the most popular groups of the 1970s and beyond. Jeff Lynne, ELO’s vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, co-founder, and frontman, conceived of a rarefied musical sphere in which cellos coexisted with guitars, and where classically tinged progressive rock intersected with hook-filled, radio-friendly pop. The result: ELO’s boundary-breaking approach to rock that resonated with a global audience, both as a pop singles act and as album-oriented rockers with deep-track appeal". kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZPKaZSLo5mMoaM and kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpfKmoV4r6urm80

[@bandfromtheband9445]

I found it interesting that Roy Wood was also inducted, but then I went WAIT!!!! Roy founded the whole band! So yes, he deserves to be treated with the utmost respect and inducted, as well! It was his original idea, even though Jeff Lynne took over and made ELO into the magnificent band of musicians that he did! Thank you both, Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne! Jeff, you are absolutely incredible!!!

[@bandfromtheband9445]

It was your original idea, Roy! You deserve this!

[@kingofallwhites]

What about the other guys who were completely left out? Mik? Kelly? This is a joke. ELO wasn’t a four piece band when they were in their prime.

[@jtsotherone]

@@kingofallwhites yes thought it was a bit weird he didn't thank any of the others who played a part in the success

[@cejannuzi]

The argument could be made that he deserves his own entry, based on Move, ELO, Wizzard, and solo. But he didn't have the commercial impact in the US that is expected, whereas post-Wood ELO did. And Lynne produced a lot and collaborated with HoF musicians in many ways.

[@colinluckens9591]

I thought the original Idea of the orchestral/rock fusion was Jeff's????

[@MusicLover10538]

From 1972 to 1986 Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other groups in the world. 50 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas and Stadiums. I just saw them in Toronto July 18 2019 ( Best Concert of my life) All the reviews agree they are the best live act in the world and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius. They are in the Rock Hall of Fame. Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Song Writer award ( ASCAP ) 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. And don't forget, he was in the Super Group of all the Groups the Traveling Wilburys with George Harrison, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan... Long live Jeff Lynne’s ELO!

The Beatles Anthology with their new records was perfect because of Jeff.

[@yeoldcap]

ELO?! It was Jeff Lynne and Roy who pissed off after 2 albums! Jeff only name-checks 2 other members - Bev and Richard. What about the rest of them. A total egomaniac. And a selfish one at that. Kelly was co-vocalist on many tracks and lead vocalist on others. Mik Kaminski and the rest of the string players were also complete;y ignored! He should hand the award back!

[@classicrockfan8034]

@@yeoldcap Listen my old grumpy... First it's the Rock Hall Of Fame who decides who will be inducted. 2nd Roy left the band because of the manager. He wanted to be the lead. He is still friend with Jeff Lynne. 3rd Jeff Lynne wrote all the hits for ELO and produced everything. Lastly Jeff disbanded ELO because he wanted to produce, write and play with some of the greatest music legends on this planet. Do your research before you comment.

Glad Roy Wood was there.

[@annakimborahpa]

The RRHOF implicitly honors the other work of artists when they are recognized in one particular group setting. In this case, Roy Wood's work with The Move and Wizzard, as well as the fact that Roy provided the initial platform for Jeff Lynne to perfect ELO is but one example. Another was the previous induction of Traffic which implicitly honored Stevie Winwood's earlier work with Spencer Davis and his later work as a solo artist, as well as the solo work of Dave Mason. However, it is the responsibility of those being honored in their speeches to name those who made significant contributions in the group being awarded who did not receive official recognition. There are too many examples of these omissions.

[@yeoldcap]

Agreed. Jeff left out Mik and Kelly who were totally part of the ELO sound. They feature in many of the misic videos , yet were 100% omitted from his speech! How dare he!
