25 years ago I snobbishly failed to appreciate how really, really great this was.
Jeff Lynne, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, and Bob Dylan…

Yes on the Wilbury’s, certainly, Chuck. Even further back to ELO, I wish folks would give more credit to the genius of Jeff Lynne.

I’m a big sucker for ELO–just last week I bought a digital download of “All Around the World” ELO’s greatest hits, since all their stuff I had before was on vinyl. It’s genius stuff–my first slow dance with a girl was junior high, “Can’t get it out of my head” which is sadly absent from the album I bought. Also, in 7th grade I got a cool all-in-one stereo for Christmas and a gift certificate for National Record Mart that I used to buy “Get The Knack,” ELO’s “Discovery,” and “Candy-O” by the Cars. Drunk with enthusiasm, I paid cash for Blondie’s “Eat To The Beat” as well. Great year for music. I still like all those recordings except for The Knack.

Great superband, shame they didn’t produce a couple of more albums. Had they stayed together I think they would’ve just gotten better.
