Jeff Lynne is a f**king genius. No-one before or after has been able to marry something that sounds like an orchestral film score to a catchy pop tune as seamlessly as he was able to, over and over. True talent.

Been listening to ELO for over 40 years, love shangri la, but the problem is, you keep changing your mind - its like having 50 children & meeting one of them again & then that child is your favourite for a while, it's a lifetime thing this ELO therapy !

I was 14 years old in November of 1976 when I looked at my family's stereo and I saw an LP sitting on the floor. It had the ELO 'Wurlitzer' design logo on the front, and I knew it was an album my brother had gotten as a gift a few days earlier, and that it had a song on it that I'd been hearing on the radio, 'Livin' Thing'. There was no one home so I decided to put a pair of headphones on and give the album a listen. When that intro to 'Tightrope' kicked in, it totally and completely blew my mind. And not only did it blow my mind, it gave me chills and goosebumps. By the time 'Tightrope' ended, I was nearly speechless. I had never heard anything so incredible in my young, juvenile delinquent life. I must have played it 20 times in a row on that first listen of the album. I moved on to the rest of the album and I was still just in awe of every song, but then it got to the last song, 'Shangri-La', and it blew me away like 'Tightrope' did. To this day, the album ''A New World Record', and 'Tightrope' are my favorite ELO album and song respectively. One suggestion I would add, is that in the future, ELO is really a band who needs to be listened to with headphones. 'Tightrope' is a different experience with headphones on. Hopefully you have lots more ELO on your schedule.

The album this song came from, New World Record, has many great songs that became hits: “Livin Thing,” “Do Ya,” and “Telephone Line.” The album closer, the great “Shangri-La,” is a fan favorite, too.

This is one of my favorite songs of all time - period. Definitely my favorite ELO song...but their catalog is rich and deep and gorgeous. My father played classical piano and was so thrilled when I started listening to ELO, because of the classical influence. Jeff Lynne is one of the greatest songwriters and producers. I especially love his use of percussion - a wall of sound wallop...always keeping things exciting throughout a song.

This is the one that kicked off my love for ELO, I can never forget that day 48 years ago!! I was told to come and listen to something not knowing what it was and listened to the whole album through. Imagine starting with Tightrope and finishing with Shangri-la, it does not get better than that and does not age ❤

Love the way you guys go like 'this is my favorite' after each new ELO song you are listening to 😀Same here, every single song is a masterpiece and kind of exceeds the other songs. Let's put is like this: every single one of their songs is our favorite song for the very moment we are listening to it, feeling it, flying aways on its wings into the lightness of being. Hope to see you reacting to all of their songs, there are so so so many to discover still...

Did I tells ya or did I tells ya? Picture me. I just turned 14. It was early 1977. I purchased this album (A New World Record) based off of hearing "Living Thing" and "Telephone Line" on the radio. I thought those two songs were great BUT, I was not prepared when I put the stylus on to the start of this record to be smashed to the floor by this brilliant opening track that sold me forever on the Jeff Lynne/ELO sound. Bloody criminal it was never released as a single. One of Jeff's best.

Marissa, you made such a good point when you said you were wondering how Jeff would reincorporate the ominous classical Intro back into the traditional rock song as it progressed, and he did it seamlessly. I agree with your rating: 1,000,000 out of 10. :D As for your next ELO reaction, please do the last track from their flawless 1976 album, A New World Record. The song is called, *"Shangri-la".*

The band's frontman Jeff Lynne regarded his own songwriting at this point to have reached a new high. "The songs started to flow and most of them came quickly to me. To have all those hits, it was just ...I mean amazing really. Going from doing okay for probably three or four years to suddenly being in the big time, it was a strange but great thing." - Jeff Lynne

Absolutely adore your reactions to ELO. This track opened Jeff Lynne’s ELO tour in 2018 (replaced on a later tour with Standing in the Rain). I think you’re probably reading too much into the lyrics as Jeff openly admits it’s the songwriting element he hates so I don’t think anything he writes is too deep - but who cares, everything he creates is magnificent. Anyway, why not try Rockaria from the same album (A New World Record)
