Awesome band from the 70s. I own several of their CDs. Their song: Fire on High is used for the background intro of some sports show. Poker is an amazing work. They're famous for 'Strange Magic', and if you listen (don't have to strain), you can hear a Jew's Harp figuring into the chorus.
Terrific band with inventive arrangements, melodies and lyrics.
Heck yes I've heard of them.

Yes and some call them ELO. I personally like Telephone it is a good song.
Hello? How are you? Have you been alright? through all those lonely lonely lonely nights, that's what I'd say, if you'd pick up that teeeleeephone....
I think that is the song that they played in Billy Madison, you know the Adam Sandler movie and they play it on the part where that crazy guy puts on the lipstick. When Billy is calling and apologizing to everyone he made fun of in school.

Yes, the played in Toronto a long time ago and I had to escort a neighbour because her mom wouldn't let her go with her friends. I had never heard of them before, they had an elaborate show. Meatloaf opened for them, if you can believe that! What a great night for thirty five dollars.

Yes... they are a group that was very popular during the 70's and 80's. They are a "New Age" type of music group. I really like them and have a number of their albums, but then I am a older person.

Yes. They came from a faraway land called the Seventies. All their tunes sounded the same and they all sounded like a load of hubcaps falling off the back of a pickup truck.

Excellent 70's rock band. You might have heard their songs in a VW commercial "Mr. Blue Sky" or in a Monster commercial "Do Ya"

Yes I have, and I went to a concert back in the "'olden days" in the 70's at Norfolk Scope! It was awesome and the lazer show was great.
