Electric Light Orchestra

Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) are a British rock group from Birmingham, England, who released eleven studio albums between 1971 and 1986 and another album in 2001. ELO were formed to accommodate Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne's desire to create modern rock and pop songs with classical overtones. After Wood's departure following the band's debut record, Lynne wrote and arranged all of the group's original compositions and produced every album. ( Read more at wikipedia )

Links to Peel
According to the liner notes on "ELO II", John Peel was a fan of Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood's work with their pervious band The Move. Peel did, in fact, play some of the music from their first records, but as the band gained success and went more mainstream, he abandoned them.
