these guys in the 70's were the height of stylized pop, which ain't normally my cup of tea, but their singles were catchy, dammit!
The vids are so cheesy but the music still makes me smile. If you asked me at 10 years old who my favorite band was...... :O
please witness:
Sweet Talkin' Woman. This reminds me of the Comet skating rink because it was like every 4th song they played. The dood clapping his hands at 3:16 just makes you feel good to be alive:

Strange Magic. This is interesting because 1) it's live from PBS concert in 2001 and 2) it sounds really damn good for a bunch of doods over 20 years after the fact and 3) they've got a chick filling in for the other singer, opposite Jeff Lynne, 4) presumably because Jeff couldn't keep himself from throwing punches at the guy. From what little I've read.
