Still have a lot of time for A New World Record as it was the first album I ever bought with my own money aged 12 (a mere 44 years ago!)
I’m glad the Beatles quit when they did. In hindsight it was the best thing for their dignity. Maybe we’ve heard this a billion times before, but in the 70s they’d have put increasingly tedious, lazy and MOR albums out, drunk on their own success

I grew up with ELO, mainly on car journeys to Cornwall for summer holidays and I love them with no irony or safety winks. They mean more to me than the Beatles, even if objectively etc etc. I loved bands of my era name checking them (Grandaddy, obvs, who I love) and James Dean Bradfield saying they were more important to him than the Beatles (don’t care much for MSP but thanks for saying it dude)
