always loved the Idle Race. Jeff Lynne music genius.

[larcombjill]

i love any thing done by Jeff Lynne hes a genius!!

[SilverDollar79]

one of the sharpest tunes of the era musically and lyrically, psychy social commentary with hard hitting pop...love all the little sound touches that set it apart

[tatunkha]

@SilverDollar79 you have excellent taste

[marquis0r]

[lechaise]

@marquis0r Anything by The Move.

Biting hardrocking guitar..in -67! I guess Brian May was influenced by this band..

[tatunkha]

@prutters Brian met Jeff at a gig & learnt a few tricks from him. You are perceptive.

[prutters]

@tatunkha I see..yes, that makes sense. Thanks for info..:)

This was the first released song composed by

Jeff Lynne as far as I know. He was a brilliant song writer at first second.

[dwood16]

Actually he was a good song writer..period. This song is amazing!
