Anyone else notice how similar musically and lyrically these songs are? Don't know which came out first but does anyone think it's a coincidence?

ELO not Moody Blues...

was it you claiming ELO did 'Go Now' on that other thread...?

Mr Blue Sky is from 1977 by the way

Soulful Old Man Sunshine was originally from '69 -- this song kind of reminds me of a Beach Boys/Thin Lizzy combination. But not ELO!

listen to them back to back - t's very uncanny, even the signature riff.
