I'll never forget a good friend of mine, may he RIP, who was over at my pace watching TV. For some reason, we had E Network on to watch Howard Stern's show. A commercial came on, featuring the show "Mysteries & Scandals". The voice-over went on about, "Was he living a double life? Was he tormented by his secret? On the next 'Mysteries & Scandals', we find out the truth about Freddie Mercury. On the next 'Mysteries & Scandal'..."
My friend's reply: "Freddie Mercury? What the f**k 'mystery' are they talking about?!"

Out of the Blue is the seventh studio album by the British rock group Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), released in October 1977. Written and produced by ELO frontman Jeff Lynne, the double album is among the most commercially successful records in the group's history, selling about 10 million copies worldwide. Jeff Lynne wrote the entire album in three and a half weeks after a sudden burst of creativity while hidden away in his rented chalet in the Swiss Alps. It took a further two months to record in Munich. Side three of the original double LP consisted of the symphonic Concerto for a Rainy Day, composed of four separate tracks which together made up a cohesive suite, instead of one continuous track. The inclement weather effects heard on "Concerto" were real and recorded by Lynne during a very rainy summer in Munich 1977. The Concerto suite would be Lynne's last dabbling in symphonic rock. Concerto for a Rainy Day[edit] Side three of the release is subtitled Concerto for a Rainy Day, a four track musical suite based on the weather and how it affects mood change, ending with the eventual sunshine and happiness of "Mr. Blue Sky". This was inspired by Lynne's experience while trying to write songs for the album against a torrential downpour of rain outside his Swiss Chalet. "Standin' in the Rain" opens the suite with a haunting keyboard over a recording of real rain, recorded by Jeff Lynne just outside his rented studio. Also heard at the 0:33 mark of the song, which

I once knew a gal, good soul she was. Played CCR all day, every day. After about six months, I couldn't take it anymore.
I've heard more CCR in six months than I care to admit.
Love CCR, but like most things, moderation.
You know the songs?? The radio played them all the time. I was stuck in CCR hell. All day. Every day.

ELO was way ahead of their time. No auto tune, what you hear is what they actually did.

John Rutsey became the answer to one of the most famous trivia questions in rock history. But something tells me he wouldn't have had the chops to write lyrics for "The Necromancer" or "By-tor the Snow Dog" and we know he wouldn't have had the musical chops.

Neil didn't write this but did write "I'm a Believer" which was one of their biggest. Don't know exactly when Neil wrote "Sweet Caroline" but by the time it was on the radio the Monkees were off the air.

My fave AC/DC tune (TNT is close, though).
Malcom was the master of rhythm guitar. A lost art.
Angus belongs on the list of guitar Gods.
AC/DC is what I would call "meat and potatoes" rock. Just pure beat and riffs.

Whaddya know, my fave too. And it took a while for Bon Scott to grow on me. His voice had much more versatility than Brian's and he sang more bluesy ballads than some people may remember. Whole Lotta Rosie would be up there too. Propulsive rhythms and breathtaking leads.
Was fortunate enough to see them in Madison somewhere around 2001. Where have the years gone?
