Where do you stand on ELO?
I enjoy the Beach Boys but ELO were the music of *my* childhood holidays.

I'm not overly familiar with them to be honest

Likewise
They're filed under 'shit' in the back of my mind, but I couldn't name a single tune they did.

How about the Sensational Alex Harvey Band?
I don't know much of their stuff, and feel like I should know more.

I like them.
Which probably means you'll hate them.

not necessarily.

I have no idea what the song I know is called...it's good.

they were rather theatrical weren't they?
I know bugger all about them, sadly. Scotland did produce some good rock bands in the 70s though, for sure.

Like the mighty NAZARETH, whom I love. Some of their singles were superb.

ELO were great
But I stress were, I don't think that the music aged well. As kids, on the long drives to holiday destinations, if we were allowed anything on the tape player of dad's Vauhall Viva, we'd always choose some ELO. I listened to a best of CD a couple of years ago and, while it was alright, it's not lasted as well as most of the Beach Boys back catalogue. Funnily enough, my dad's favourite of "The Best of Bread" is still one of my faves.

Along with The Cars and Supertramp, a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine :)
The kind of tape your mother has in the car. A best of, naturally - do mothers buy anything other than Best Of's? I'm also almost ashamed to admit taking great pleasure out of Roxette as a six year old locked in my mothers old Peugeot as she done the shopping/got banged by strangers..
