It's really hard to believe Jeff Lynne

or ELO aren't in the Rock 'n' Roll

Hall Of Fame. Jeff Lynne's incredible

catalogue of songs and studio pro-

ductions are definitely worthy. He has

to be one of the most underrated artists

in the history of Rock 'n' Roll.

The power of this song to move me is almost beyond words. I'll never forget the very first time I heard it, totally awestruck and feeling a lump in my throat. It was my first musical awakening: until that moment I never realised that music could touch you so deeply. I still get misty when I hear this track over 30 years later ...

This is what music will sound like in heaven.

Mine went away too so to speak. But I hope to return there one day maybe. Because I need her and want to be her wild west hero. So I will hold on tight to my dream Iam a 21st century man yours truly horis whimply

The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is a rented building in a poor neighborhood run by a sleezy Albanian businessman who knows nothing about quality music. Get over that shoddy outfit! The music of the great artists will outlast the lease on that organization's building.

Underrrated , I agree .

[BuccaneerSlave]

I really love the ascending keyboards @ circa 5:07-5:10. Fits the song's ethereal quality.

[sreychheng]

Probably the best song on their best album.

I saw the title of the song first thing that pop up in my head Call of Duty Black Ops XD

[Brandon Haygood]

You can also tell he was a big Beatles fan by the line "faded like the Beatles on Hey Jude."

[Angie Watson]

should a lot like elton john the voice anyway

Man, this brings back great memories from the late 70's when I was in high school!! The music was great, but I have to admit, the clothing sucked.
