ELO's "Time" - July 2, 1981

Jul 2, 2021

A concept album by a band that already played with pop-culture themes and sci-fi imagery seemed like a natural when Electric Light Orchestra released "Time" on July 2, 1981. Hold on tight while we go to the year 2095 and ask, "is this the way life's meant to be?"

Follow Sci-Fi 5 for your daily dose of science-fiction history.
