Lynne was never a 'showman'; a superb producer of great pop songs, wether it be for ELO, Roy Orbison, George Harrison, and yep...The Beatles. Not a great performer though. But one thing I've gathered is that he has the greatest respect throughout the industry. Jeff Lynne for me is a man who could take the simplest chords and turn them into something quite extraordinary. Livin' Thing being a prime example; that song was quirky (quirkier than any punk song of the time); very large (it is awesome at full volume..how it should always be heard) and wonderfully feel good as most of Jeff's songs are. Underrated as one one of the greatest ever producers, as good as George Martin in my view (although strict Beatles fans will disagree) Free As A Bird proving it!
