Roy Wood: "What's that song the Beatles have, you know, the one with the violins and cellos?"
Jeff Lynne: "Eleanor Rigby?"
Wood: "Yeah, that's it. I'm gonna rewrite it."

Can't Get It Out of My Head is one of my favorite ELO tracks too. It was also one of their biggest hits in the US at least.


Yeah, they did rip off Eleanor Rigby on the other track, didn't they. Still, I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I can understand imitation, but that was almost duplication. Terrible.

In all fairness, Eleanor Rigby was an imitation of some music from Psycho.

I've gone one better! Not only are the two from the same album, but one follows the other on that album!!!

Anyway...

Keep going with your top/bottom ten. In the words of Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel, don't give up.

Just listened to Secret Messages for the first time. Rock 'N' Roll is King was my favorite track. :finger:

I also listened to On The Third Day (only song on it I'd heard before was Showdown) and OMG WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME THAT MA-MA-MA BELLE WAS SUCH A FUCKING BANGER? Instant top ten track.
