Biography

The Electric Light Orchestra's ambitious yet irresistible fusion of Beatlesque pop, classical arrangements, and futuristic iconography rocketed the group to massive commercial success throughout the 1970s, as well as a significant resurgence in the mid- to late 2000s thanks to a series of television commercials. ELO were formed in Birmingham, England in the autumn of 1970 from the ashes of the eccentric art-pop combo the Move, reuniting frontman Roy Wood with guitarist/composer Jeff Lynne, bassist Rick Price, and drummer Bev Bevan. Announcing their intentions to "pick up where [roviLink="MC"]'I Am the Walrus' left off," the quartet members sought to embellish their engagingly melodic rock with classical flourishes. ~ Jason Ankeny
