55. Electric Light Orchestra: Mr. Blue Sky

PF500 claims that this song predicts 21st Century indie rock, other than the falsetto stuff. I'm thinking they're not wrong here.

It's nice to have a band that fucking claims their name and tries to live it. Electric Light Orchestra. Really? That's a mighty huge claim, but they aspire to it; they try for it. Serious Lyrics. Choruses. Strings. Piano (bouncy piano even) . Movements (Jesus, the surest way to crack the PF500 is to have multiple movements in your song).

An ending like a glide down a rainbow of synthey poop seventies.

Rating: 62.
