As in Peter Frumpton boss??

You don't strike me as an ELO guy, .......maybe under the influence of the best elixir from True Blood with that vacant stare that Sookie's sista side kick has weekly when the vamps come round but not without the high test boss....

Crossroads Guitar Festival 2010 took place on Saturday, June 26 at Toyota Park in Chicago.

The following artists participated in this unique event to benefit Crossroads Centre Antigua:

Albert Lee, BB King, Bert Jansch, Buddy Guy, David Hidalgo and Cesar Rosas of Los Lobos, Derek Trucks, Doyle Bramhall II, Earl Klugh, Eric Clapton, Gary Clark Jr., Hubert Sumlin, James Burton, Jeff Beck, Jimmie Vaughan, Joe Bonamassa, John Mayer, Johnny Winter, Jonny Lang, Keb' Mo', Pino Daniele, Robert Cray, Robert Randolph, Sheryl Crow, Susan Tedeschi, Sonny Landreth, Stefan Grossman, Steve Winwood, Vince Gill, Warren Haynes, and ZZ Top.

You respond to this with some lame paragraph about a Beatles song he produced using a Lennon demo performance from the 70's he never wrote, recorded or performed that won a Grammy for it's connection to other Fab Four songs. So this is how you argue a point, by never addressing the issue you created??

Let it go buddy, the band is barely north of sucking was outsold at a minimum by such musical giants as Ricky Martin (60 mil), The Village People (65 mil) and New Kids on the Block (70 mil) and just doesn't belong in the conversation of great bands. You like them and worship Lynne......some people get off on auditory route canal like this but please stop with the unreferenced garbage like Lynne was a central performer on stage with the Beatles at the 76' Prince's Trust concerts. No he wasn't......it's one thing to massage your upright base on stage and another to match Clapton's solo on Harrison's WMGGW's.......

This wikipedia page says they did sell over 50 million records:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Light_Orchestra

My point about Lynne producing the Beatles was that they could have gotten anyone they wanted. They could have had anybody in the world and they chose Lynne. His reputation is second to none and that is why they chose him. He is considered to be a musical genius, which he is.

So that f'in douche Justin Bieber has made more than all of them put together so does that make him better? Comparing Slayer/Deftones to ELO is crazy Matt.
I don't get Doc's hate for Jeff Lynne at all...maybe ELO wasn't the Beatles (thank god) and maybe he isn't Paul McCartney, but they sure were an mportant band and he sure was a major player in the industry for a lot of years.

Slayer has sold more albums and made more money than Jeff Lynne? What is your source on that? I would be extremely surprised. ELO has had around 30 Top 40 hits. How many Top 40 hits has Slayer had? Jeff Lynne wrote every one of those songs too. Those songs are still being played. He's still getting royalty payments.

hoovesupsideyourhead 07-19-2010 01:26 PM

im just kidding..slayer is still touring and has sold 5 mill albums..but will never pass the great elo..

Rupert Pupkin 07-24-2010 04:29 AM

Speaking of great British groups from the 1970s and 1980s, here is a guy that was the co-founder of a great British band. They had one of the greatest selling albums of all times. The 1979 album sold 20 million copies. Can anyone name the album?

Anyway, this guy is on his own now and is still touring the world. I have been lucky enough to see him live a few times. He is fantastic. His voice sounds as good as ever. Here is a little 3 minute montage containing 7 of his of his greatest hits.

santana 07-24-2010 05:42 AM

Before looking, i thought it was Robert Plant.....
I got free tickets to see him tonight.....
Hopefully it is mostly Zep stuff the group does.

I did see his name though:D

Yes, that is right. That's ok that you saw his name. Most people wouldn't recognize the name. Everybody knows Supertramp but I don't think too many people know the names of the guys in the band.

That album (Breakfast in America) is one of the biggest selling albums ever. It is one of my all-time favorite albums. I still listen to it to this day. Every song on the album is great. I think that album had 5 or 6 Top 40 hits. It had The Logical Song, Goodbye Stranger, Breakfast in America, Take the Long Way Home, Gone Hollywood, and Lord Is It Mine.

I wish Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson would put their differences aside and get back together for a final tour but I don't think it will ever happen. They haven't played together in well over 20 years.

I hope for our sake he does but I wouldn't be too sure. He doesn't like "loud" music any more.
