About Electric Light Orchestra
Outside of the prog scene, the most ambitious rock band of the ’70s were Electric Light Orchestra.
Thanks to the meticulous production ear and vivid imagination of frontman Jeff Lynne, their music melded together lush orchestral arrangements and Beatles-caliber melodic pop tropes.
Electric Light Orchestra initially formed in 1970 as an offshoot of psychedelic rock troupe The Move, which Lynne had joined at the urging of future Wizzard multi-instrumentalist Roy Wood.
