Performer: Electric Light Orchestra
Producer: Jeff Lynne Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: Led by the musically eccentric Jeff Lynne, Electric Light Orchestra occupied its own little space in the rock universe; with lush electronic string arrangements, the eclectic outfit drew from early jazz, progressive rock, blues, and in its later days, disco, to create an otherworldly sound on hits like "Evil Woman" and "Don't Bring Me Down." This mp3 player-ready compilation collects a spry cross-section of the unique act's hits and misses.
ELO began as an outgrowth of '60s UK psych-rockers the Move and the Idle Race, but when former Move frontman Roy Wood departed early in the game, Jeff Lynne fashioned the band as a high-tech Beatles for the '70s. Featuring a full-time string section, ELO picked up where "Strawberry Fields" left off, creating orchestral Britpop without the pretense of prog-rock. The band's slick, lush sound helped define '70s pop, and proved influential decades later to the likes of Air and the Polyphonic Spree.
