New found favorite songs!!!

Have you ever put your hand in a coat not worn since last winter only to find money in the pocket? That's the type of unexpected discovery I came across today when scrolling through the 1600 songs that came with the used iPod we bought.

Before I tell you what I found, let me say how disappointed I am that my sisters did not enlighten of this '70's band's existence, pictured here, before my stumbling across them today.

Of all my years of music appreciation, never have I been handed an 8-track, album, tape, nay even a CD, by someone saying, "Hey kid, put down that Tab and let me drop some groovy tunes on you. Try out E.L.O. and when you're done, put another coat of wax on my orange Nova."

To date, I've lived a life of uninformed ignorance as to the genius that is the Electric Light Orchestra. But no longer, for I've stepped over the fence, onto the greener grass and found that it is, indeed, as soft and lush as the shoulder length brown hair of my 1974 inner self.

E.L.O.'s fantastic four songs I've always heard, but never knew who sang them are:

Mr. Blue Sky
Do Ya
Evil Woman (Funny, I always thought they were saying "mid-evil woman".)
and my favorite...
Don't Bring Me Down

PS- Yes, the clown's in the photo's background really freak me out, but I couldn't help posting it, since it so clearly conveyed the style of the '70's.
