Congratulations Kid, if you like this music...you have a great life ahead of you. Enjoy every minute of every day.The world is full of wonder and joy and laughter and yes, sometimes anguish and tears. But I promise you, the anguish will make you smarter and the tears will make kinder.

Good Luck Kid!

Your Pal,

Bob

[youmeandi100]

i'm also 14 and it gets kinda annoying when i'm the only person that likes this kind on music and everyone listens to rap and such ^ like you said :/ lol

[MegaAndreNo]

Progression rapide. Imposante. Remarquez la finesse du piano. Les enchainements. C'est une grande réussite musicale.

[Bdcorpuschristi]

This is the greatest group ever. I'm 68 years old and I've heard'em all(and I don't smoke lol)

[rproulx]

@Bdcorpuschristi

It's never too late to start...

[Bdcorpuschristi]

@rproulx Bobby, I don't even know you, but you're already a bad influence on me.

[panthermike]

@photolitherland Funny you say that, these don't seem to be the "popular" ELO songs. However, in my opinion they are the absolute best ELO songs. Music making like this just doesn't exist anymore; it's a shame really.

[HIENALURIAS]

7:45 PURE MAGIC!!!!!!!

[AlgisKemezys]

When I listen to ELO i realize that this music surpasses so much other music as being something that really made who I am today. Upon listening to it again I tend to also believe that...... Upon hearing different parts of these songs I realize this is me...all the way and gay!

[chazmcneill]

the awaken initiate : ) ?

[Eltoniobonio]

love these songs and the whole 'kick ass' Eldorado album. Thanks for posting them. BTW, i'm 48 and have been a fan for 35 years. OLE ELO!!!!!

[MrJkhawaii]

my favorite elo song !

[beatleforce1]

I know a lot of ELO songs but I have never heard these 2 but they sound awesome!!

[bluegill63]

This is one of the genuine collaborations of classical and rock in a "themed" album format. The quest for more mainstream music hadn't quite hit them. Even some unevenness makes it sound so much better. Progressive is an understatement on this whole album. BTW I'm 47 and first album I bought was Ole ELO and have everyting else ending with Out of the Blue. I guess I was 14 when I bought Strange Magic on 45. Thanks for posting!

[zmznzbzvzmznzb]

thank you!

[CalebSctEllis]

0 dislikes That is AWESOME!

[BonelessSausage]

Songs give me the fucking chills. Apologize for the profanity but they do.........I'm 47 this sounds like heaven.

[notlazy99]

One thing that is perfectly clear, no man should be stricken with fear, it should be that he walks with no care in the world.

[BonelessSausage]

@notlazy99 That's the way it should be. I hope we get there. Things are changing. Don't you feel it?

[albertusj]

I love the playful bit of strings at 0:19

[notlazy99]

One thing I have learned thru these years, is no man should be stricken with fear, it should be that he walks with no care in the world. How profound.

[cqsallie]

I totally agree that Jeff Lynne should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Genius!!!!

[notlazy99]

One of my all time favorites.

[AcidHeadEd]

my birthday is february 19, 1954

We live on in our love!

[albertusj]

@AcidHeadEd This was recorded before I was born. It's awesome. The melodies are musical and the lyrics clever. It lifts the soul and stirs the heart. Like music should. I'm 35. Todays' GAGA generation will never know the beauty of real music. It's so sad....My parents instilled in me a love of music and an open mind that made me explore other genres of music. To discover something like this you never knew existed is truly special. How many other AWESOME acts are there for me to discover still?

[marjimdt]

one of the classics!

[kennhi2008]

One of my favorite ELO cd's . I love all their music and have since I was 12. I am 50 now and still rock them

[notlazy99]

If there is a rock band out there that can recreate the energy of this song, bring it on , your million dollar try at fame.

[waiter1971]

THIS IS COOL.

'One thing I have learned through these years, is that no man should be stricken with fear. It should be, that he walks with no care in the world'

[mikeysj30]

Haven't heard this in 25+ years. Thanks for posting it!

[mariofreak4500]

Thank you for all the good comments everybody! I'm so glad to see that there are a lot of ELO fans still around. I'm only 14, so I'm always around fans who like that rap crap. ELO forever !

[soco13466]

@mariofreak4500 Well it's good to know that someone who's 14 is a fan of ELO. I was losing hope there for awhile...

[nomiclas]

@mariofreak4500 i have a lot of elo early vinyl,you're dead on ELO forever.

[albertusj]

@mariofreak4500 You are one of the enlightened teenagers who know what good music actually sounds like. Enjoy.

[shadamedaffas]

@mariofreak4500 Good for you dude... the ones who appreciate what sets you apart from the dime-a-dozens are those worth keeping around, even if they are not exactly like you, that's ok, as you should also appreciate things about your good friends. Never compromise your life unless it is for a worthy or honorable cause. If you do, you may end up kickin yourself in the pants like I've done.

[XNobreadforyouX]

@mariofreak4500 But I like ELO and that rap crap.....

[moodyfan4ever]

Yes, I have seen them life in the Seventees in Rotterdam, Ahoy, in the Netherlands. it was awesome.

[madskyebri]

i thought he was the hall o fame

[kens054]

If you have never seen this group LIVE!!! Then you really have NO idea how great the really were!!!! I am sorry they are no longer together...

[Gamelame5]

I find it awesome, that you can go to a band like this or any older one, then look at all the praise in the comments. Out of all of those, there is no disagreeableness or trolls. These songs are probably the best places in Youtube. Thanks so much for uploading this and bringing back all the nostalgia and good memories!

[36yandcounting]

@Gamelame5 You, no doubt, have heard of the golden age......you are listening to it. Cock your ear and listen in wonder!! "That no man should be striken with tears...it should be that he walks with no care in the world .....That no man should shall conspire to take arms again"

[rwinger124]

Outstanding song(s) and a great post...

thanks MF4500 for the posting...ELO is without compare....

[USABG58]

I truely feel sorry for people who don't like ELO. It's like no one knew about or appreciated...strawberry ice cream...or something! And you did and were trying to turn everyone on to strawberry ice cream, but no one liked it. You'd be like: it's good! Why aren't you agreeing? I don't get it...

[Supercharge87]

@USABG58 I know this comment is a year old, but I absolutely love this analogy.

[USABG58]

@Supercharge87 Thanks!

[BasementBeginnings]

I'm expecting my Eldorado album to arrive today. I'm so excited. I'm like a little kid right now.

[Jhensy2001]

More hooks in one song than most bands have their whole career.

[notlazy99]

@Jhensy2001 I agree, most profound music.

[notlazy99]

asmetu? Burn your mama wilst your at it loser.

[asmetuyasiempre]

no to worry charlafemme., im burning all ELO videos., and give it a way to any body who wants them., with a condition to make another burn copy and give it a way to and so on u dig it?

[parrotindecia]

Kelly Groucutt, what with his magnificent, unique voice and wonderful personality, was up there with Roy Orbison. May the Lord take up Kelly's soul into its eternal rest. Kelly rulz!

[notlazy99]

charlafemme, I believe you could speak for all of that love his music. Too cool.

[notlazy99]

Beautiful song dudes.

[Kalabrienfan]

OH what for a great song im happy

[wlh1us]

yea...........................­.........

[goldiana1]

It's a master piece

[brugglesby]

Jeff Lynne should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

[Blackson187]

Yea, I think he is definitely one of the most underrated musical talents of all-time. ELO fucking dominates.

[nomiclas]

@brugglesby fuckin' dobe A!!!

[elofan1000]

@brugglesby fuck yea he should be...way before his time...

[Micaeldrums96]

@brugglesby The rock and roll hall of fame is crap i heard they gonna nominate miley cyrus hahahahahaha

[albertusj]

@Micaeldrums96 She's too young to be in a "Hall of Fame", geez

[britfrenir]

@albertusj Also, she is only from a show form the Disney show and not a real rock star.

[britfrenir]

@britfrenir I meant frrom a Disney show.

[DWMKirbissin]

@brugglesby And Kelly as well!
