S6E281 - Electric Light Orchestra 'ELO's Greatest Hits' with Jeff Greenstein

<p>Returning guest, television writer, producer and director <strong>Jeff Greenstein</strong> (Will & Grace, Friends, Desperate Housewives), makes the case that <strong>Electric Light Orchestra</strong> were - at their core - a fantastic 'singles' band. The 1979 compilation '<strong>ELO's Greatest Hits</strong>' showcases the pop-genius of leader <strong>Jeff Lynn</strong>, as he meticulously crafted weirdly wonderful rock hits that combined classical orchestration with pop, rock and soul that somehow managed to become classic rock staples.</p> <p>Songs featured in this episode: <em>The Story Of A Rock and Roll Band</em> - Randy Newman; <em>Will and Grace Theme</em> - Jonathan Wolff; <em>National Brotherhood Week</em> - Tom Lehrer; <em>Don't Bring Me Down</em> - Electric Light Orchestra; <em>Fly Like An Eagle</em> - Steve Miller; <em>Rockaway Beach</em> - Ramones; <em>Xanadu</em> - Electric Light Orchestra (Featuring Olivia Newton John); <em>Do Ya</em> - The Move; <em>Rattled</em> - Traveling Wilburys; <em>Scenes From An Italian Restaurant</em> - Billy Joel; <em>Evil Woman, Livin' Thing</em> - Electric Light Orchestra; <em>T.S.O.P.
