A New World Record and Out of the Blue are also great stuff. Dunno if I'd put Foreigner in Top 5 Bands. I'd put the Clash there first. Surrender by Cheap Trick (live version)...that album side from Live at Budokan might be the soundtrack of a generation.

You get all the way from Wild West Hero, to Rock 'N Roll is King, to Telephone Line. I have the 3 CD collectible. Has music all the way from the very beginning in the 1960's to their last tracks in early 1980's (Julie doesn't live here anymore.) There's a band out of Austin, TX called FastBall that has the same bluesy sound as ELO, but not with the violins and arias and such. Mr. Blue Sky - man oh man what a song when you're down I like Dire Straits for the same reason. No two albums of theirs are the same. Some songs just have the best lyrics like "Industrial Disease", or Skateaway, or Romeo and Juliet. Mark Knopfler can get you to close your eyes and visualize yourself there with the mandolins. Or even the guys moving the color TV's in "Money for Nothing". I need to listen to more of Jeff Lynne's later stuff, like the Traveling Wylburies (sp?) Funny, but I work so much, I just don't get the chance to enjoy good music.

The first Dire Straits album is simply a masterpiece from start to finish. Easily one of my all time favorites. There are >many< that rank in my all time favorites..but few that I never, ever tire of hearing. Their first album is one of those...I never tire of listening to it. On my list is Aqualung for the reason of the guitar solo. Second best guitar solo ever recorded is the solo on Romeo and Juliet where he plays against his own delay. Brilliant stuff.

The music still runs through my head. That FastBall song "The Way" is pretty good blues keyboard. Watch for them, they're on their way up. The great guitar solos in Rock seem endless, but find someone playing awesome piano... That's why I like ELO. They Rock on guitar, keyboard, violins, cellos, you get the idea... The sign of a truly awesome band. Not one instrument, but a lot of them working together. That's why I wasn't as sold on Rush, or Triumph, or Boston (although all of them are very good)... All guitars... If you listen to a whole CD of Boston, your ears are ringing (even at normal volume). Edited by gdaustin Oct. 21, 2003, 11:42:13 PM EDT Expand All History
