But do you think they were ahead of their time? Some of their music feels so relevant now, but didn’t get the recognition back then.
For sure! It’s like they were in a musical time capsule. I wonder what ELO fans in the '70s thought about them back then?
Listening to ‘Need Her Love’ really takes me back. Something about those rich strings and synths hits differently! A true classic.
I absolutely love ‘Need Her Love’! It reminds me of summer road trips with my family back in the 80s. ELO’s sound always puts me in a good mood.

I can totally relate! ELO played constantly on the radio during those trips. ‘Need Her Love’ has this energy that just makes you want to sing along.
The blend of orchestral and rock elements really stands out in this track. It’s fascinating how ELO managed to create such a unique sound. Anyone else think this influenced the orchestral style in later pop music?
Definitely! I think many artists today pull from that ELO vibe, especially when it comes to combining different genres. It’s such a timeless sound.
I remember listening to ‘Need Her Love’ during my high school dances, back when I thought I was a romantic! It brings back such a nostalgic vibe for me.
That’s a great memory, alexanderchristopher! For me, it was during my first crush. ELO’s music has this beautiful way of connecting us to those moments.
I also love the song! But I wonder if it’s really their best work. Songs like ‘Mr. Blue Sky’ feel more iconic. Opinions?

That’s a contentious take! I think every ELO song has its charm, but ‘Need Her Love’ hits different with its emotion. What do you think makes a song ‘iconic’?

Honestly, I can’t help but laugh at how cheesy some of ELO’s lyrics are! But that’s part of their charm. Who else feels that way about ‘Need Her Love’?

It’s funny you mention that! I feel like the cheesiness makes it relatable. Plus, we can’t take music too seriously all the time!
Reflecting on ELO’s music, I realize how it shaped my taste in rock. I appreciate their innovations and how they combined different genres to create something truly unique. ‘Need Her Love’ is a perfect example of that.
