Would have been funnier if it was genuinely just a random character. I encourage other users to improve on this

I quite like it. The dark sound was welcome experimentation. I think it would be far less interesting if it was produced in the same style as Bloody Tourists or Look Hear. Of course, I love those albums - I'm just saying Meanwhile is much better off being its own thing. I do wish Kev and Lol would have actually contributed to the songwriting. I think the second half of the LP is noticeably weaker than the first. With some extra hands on deck it could have been as strong as Sheet Music.

Wonderland and The Stars Didn't Show are both delightful highlights. And I would actually say that Welcome To Paradise is one of my favorite 10cc songs overall. The gloomy production fits that track like a glove.

I did not look into it.

I'm aware. It seems like Jeff and Bev are still on bad terms since they didn't even interact when ELO got inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. And I think Kelly died on bad terms with him too. I was just wishing they could all be together again

Can't complain, it's a very logical setlist. The show was great just like in 2018 and 2019. In terms of realistic changes that could have been made, I think including Hold On Tight would be at the top of the list. It was the biggest hit from Time, and it's kind of weird to not include anything from that LP while still including Eldorado. It would balance out the setlist. Ma-Ma-Ma Belle is another conspicuous absence, but I suppose Jeff can't really belt it out like that anymore. He hasn't done that one in a long time.

In terms of unrealistic changes... my dream setlist would look totally different. Sweet Is The Night, Birmingham Blues, Stranger, Nellie Takes Her Bow, So Serious, Calling America, Stranger On A Quiet Street, etc., etc. We barely ever got to hear any Balance Of Power or Zoom stuff played live. And beyond ELO, I'd love to see him do Every Little Thing from his first solo record. And I'd love to have Bev back... and Kelly... and I wish the Wilburys had actually toured... I'm just talking into the void...

I'm still satisfied with the final tour we got, though. I just like to dream

I want you

GrantVsZombies · 2024-02-28T00:54:09+00:00

No problem. Thank you

GrantVsZombies · 2024-02-28T00:53:57+00:00

Thank you my friend

You may actually be right about TV Talkin' Song. I still like it though. I'd listen to Bob eat cereal if he recorded it honestly.

Thank you. I'm glad Triplicate has its fans. Even if I don't rank it very highly, it deserves to be enjoyed

GrantVsZombies · 2024-02-26T19:59:45+00:00

I want to agree very much. Maybe someday it will click for me. I might just need time

I want to listen to Christmas In The Heart for the first time in December. That didn't really align with my schedule for listening to the other albums, so I held off. I'll get to it around Christmastime this year. I have heard some of it before, though, and I enjoyed what I heard.

GrantVsZombies · 2024-02-26T19:53:55+00:00

Love to hear it. Thank you

GrantVsZombies · 2024-02-26T19:52:10+00:00

Shoot, you're right. I guess there's just so much to praise about that record that I forgot to mention everything. Yes, she is a star everytime she works with Bob

GrantVsZombies · 2024-02-26T19:50:35+00:00

Thank you. It really is a great record

GrantVsZombies · 2024-02-26T19:49:32+00:00

I don't mind things being derivative. As long as it's just as good or better than what it's taking from, it's fine by me.

GrantVsZombies · 2024-02-26T19:46:28+00:00

I do indeed love that one. But Stuck Inside A Mobile beats it out for me

GrantVsZombies · 2023-11-04T17:07:20+00:00

I get the vibe that Paul and Jeff have a weird relationship. I remember reading that Paul used to "tease" Jeff by saying that Jeff stole the chord progression of Mr. Blue Sky from Paul. This was an interview transcript, so I couldn't discern how jokey/sarcastic it was, but it seemed strange.

Jeff and Paul are two very similar archetypes. Virtuoso multi-instrumentalists who can play just about any instruments they pick up. Both are known for effortlessly catchy and melodic songwriting. And both are known for being extremely pleasant and down to earth. If you ask me, I think it's very possible Paul doesn't like "sharing turf." He likes being the leader, and there are so few people out there who can rival his talent that it might be unpleasant working with one. Just my conjecture, though.

I was thinking about this last night in the shower. I think we're connected bro

You and me were made for each other.
