In 2017, ELO – the band Jeﬀ Lynne has led since it was
ﬁrst launched into the musical stratosphere back in
1972 – was inducted into the Rock Roll Hall of Fame.
In his loving induction speech, Dhani Harrison – the son of Jeﬀ’s close friend and collaborator George Harrison
– lovingly described Lynne as the “ELO extraterrestrial wizard captain – the man with it all.” It was a remarkable night that saw Jeﬀ Lynne and his band celebrating not just ELO, but also opening the entire Rock Hall ceremony by honoring the and 1986, Lynne wrote and produced twentyꢀsix Top
40 hits in the United Kingdom, and twenty Top 40 hits in the United States, including twenty Top 20 smashes in the UK and ﬁfteen Top 20 smashes in the US. Even more remarkably, the ELO catalog continues to have tremendous impact, as demonstrated powerfully when the compilation All Over The World: The Very Best of ELO was released in 2005 and became a Top 10 album in many international markets including the UK where it sold over a million copies.
FOUNDERS AWARD
JEFF LYNNE recently passed Chuck Berry with an inspired version of “Roll Over Beethoven.”
Beyond all the bestꢀknown hit songs, fans everywhere continue to explore the extraordinary series of albums that combined Lynne's remarkably ambitious and accomplished craftsmanship, from the group's 1971 debut (accidentally titled No Answer due to a Just weeks after that auspicious occasion, “Mr. Blue
Sky” – perhaps Lynne’s most timeless composition and his unoﬃcial theme song – was once again launched into orbit for movie audiences everywhere when this beloved classic was featured in the international boxꢀoﬃce smash, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Jeﬀ Lynne remains the man with it all – constantly miscommunication on a telephone about what the album would be called) through 1973's ELO II and On The Third Day, 1974's breakthrough Eldorado,
1975's Face the Music, 1976's A New World Record, reaching new heights. 1977's doubleꢀrecord epic Out of the Blue, 1979's
Discovery, 1981's Time, 1983's Secret Messages,
1986's Balance of Power, as well as 2001's Zoom, the ﬁrst new ELO studio album in 15 years. Most recently, in late 2015, came Alone in the Universe, the thirteenth album. The album was met with wildly positive reviews, peaking at #2 on the Billboard Top
Rock Albums chart in America, and reaching #4 on the UK Albums Chart on its way to going Platinum.
For nearly half a century now, the musical genius of Jeﬀ Lynne has been striking a resounding chord with fans all over world. One of the most successful recording artists, singerꢀsongwriters and producers in all rock history, Jeﬀ Lynne has achieved remarkable success with ELO, as a solo artist, as one of the Traveling Wilburys, and producing many of the most signiﬁcant artists of our times. That impressive list includes some of Lynne’s own deﬁning musical heroes like Roy Orbison, Del Shannon and, in an amazing and Fabulous turn of events, even The Beatles themselves, as well as solo recordings by Paul
McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Tom Petty,
Brian Wilson, Joe Walsh, Regina Spektor, Joe Cocker test of time.” and Bryan Adams, among others.
So what is it about the music of Jeﬀ Lynne and ELO that endures so powerfully for millions of music lovers around the world? “It's a great question and I wish I could answer it,” Jeﬀ Lynne says with a warm laugh.
"It’s nice to have songs in your catalog that stand the And now there’s an excellent new addition to that catalog: Wembley or Bust – the sight and sound of Jeﬀ Lynne and his great band standing the test of time in a big and beautiful way.
Jeﬀ Lynne’s record stands unparalleled. ELO has sold over 50 million records worldwide, and continues to have a remarkably popular catalog. Between 1972 GOLDEN NOTE AWARD

CLEM BURKE OF BLONDIE
For the past four decades, Blondie has become and still remains a national treasure. From an irreverent Lower East Side punk outﬁt to bona
ﬁde international ambassadors of New York cool, Blondie will forever be synonymous with that punk spirit that lives somewhere in all of us. The band’s inﬂuence has both shaped and continues to inform the worlds of music, Debbie Harry’s persona and the band’s boundaryꢀpushing pop have shaped the look and sound of many chartꢀtopping female artists who followed in the last three decades.
Blondie’s latest album, Pollinator, delves even deeper into this concept: inspiration from
Blondie’s actionꢀpacked, crossꢀpollinating past fashion and art. shaping the sound of our collective future.
The band released their 11th studio album entiꢀ tled Pollinator during 2017. Selected as one of Rolling Stone Magazine’s 20 Best Pop Albums of the year, Pollinator is a remarkable album that stands alongside any in their celebrated and trailblazing career. GRAMMY® Awardꢀ winning producer John Congleton (The
Decemberists, St. Vincent, Sigur Ros, The Killers) brought out the late ‘70s Parallel Lines attitude of Blondie again on Pollinator, with arrangements that are fast and fun, lyrics that are romantic and teasing, and synthꢀstoked hooks that evoke the new wave era.
Comprised of singerꢀsongwriter Debbie Harry, guitarist and coꢀwriter Chris Stein, powerhouse drummer Clem Burke, and longꢀtime band members bassist Leigh Foxx, guitarist Tommy
