Rock Survey - Evil Woman (Electric Light Orchestra)

Artist: Electric Light Orchestra 
Song: Evil Woman


Video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R20f-TPKjzc

Quick Thoughts: A British rock group built around a fusion of rock and classical music, releasing 11 studio albums between 1971 and 1986. Creative dominant force Jeff Lynne has produced recordings for artists such as The Beatles, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Brian Wilson, Randy Newman, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty. The lyric "there's a hole in my head where the rain comes in" is a tribute to The Beatles' song "Fixing a Hole".  Cool song about a guy fed up with a girl who had used him for long enough.

Ranking from Original "Top 1000" List:  993
Added to my Personal List?  YES
Total Songs Added to Final List6

For upcoming concerts: No upcoming concerts but Jeff  Lynne will be appearing on NPR on July 25, 2013.  http://www.elo.biz/news

Having grown up listening to mostly hip-hop, R&B, some alternative, and all sorts of music in Spanish, I decided it was time to give myself a personal survey of Rock music.  My friend BJ Swanner compiled a "Top 1000 Rock Song List", aggregated from several "Top Lists".  As I go through all 1,000 songs, I'll be creating my own list, sharing a brief post like this for all the songs that will make my final list.   I will not be ranking the songs that make it to my final list.....for now.
