The Electric Light Orchestra – Eldorado
Why is this titanic, majestic anthem for alienated individualists #2 instead of #1? Check back here Wednesday.
Song of the Day 6/15/10
Every day, for the next month and a half anyway, our best 666 songs of alltime countdown continues all the way to #1. Tuesday’s song is #44:
The Electric Light Orchestra – Laredo Tornado
Raw, wounded, careening anthem mourning the loss of a better time and place. The tradeoff from Jeff Lynne’s lead guitar over to Mik Kaminsky’s electric violin midway through the solo out is one of the high points in rock history. From the Eldorado album, 1975.
