 Topic: Top 7 ELO AlbumsPosted: October 13 2020 at 10:18 |
||
|
Zoom-ing into view from Out of the Blue comes another Top 7 albums poll From Out of Nowhere. It's Time to Face the Music with the Electric Light Orchestra and ELO 2 as we embark on a voyage of Discovery to the mythical land of Eldorado. On the Third Day, it'll be the Moment of Truth when I total up the points for the first Time to see which, if any album sets A New World Record for points received in a Top 7 PA Poll. Will anyone alter the Balance of Power by voting for ELO's one and only soundtrack album, or will I be Alone in the Universe in voting for Xanadu as my top ELO album. Only Time will tell, when Secret Messages may reveal all.
 I'll assign the usual system of points to your Top 7 listings:- 1st album - 12 points 2nd album - 8 points 3rd album - 6 points 4th album - 4 points 5th album - 3 points 6th album - 2 points 7th album - 1 point Here's my ELO Top 7 to get the poll underway:- 1. Xanadu (12 points) 2. Out of the Blue (8 points) 3. Time (6 points) 4. Discovery (4 points) 5. A New World Record (3 points) 6. Face the Music (2 points) 7.

I noticed I'm the only one who's voted for Xanadu so far, so no surprise there.

It's been a while since I heard these but from what I can remember:
I really don't know any of the later stuff. |

By the way, Kelly Groucutt of ELO nicknamed their Discovery album the "Disco Very" album.

It's certainly their most disco-y and poppy album, but ELO were good at that.

I apologize for being a nit-picker. It was Richard Tandy. Which gives the reference source the essay in the insert to the Flashback compilation released in 2000

1. Electric Light Orchestra II
2. Electric Light Orchestra (No Answer) 3. Out of the Blue 4. A New World Record 5. El Dorado 6. On the Third Day 7. Face the Music The top two sit way above any of the others. 3 & 4 are favorites for nostalgic reasons. 5, 6, 7 are give and take for me. The rest of their albums tend to get scrambled for me as they are too similar.

I know Cristi wouldn't have listed Xanadu in his Top 7 either.

The first vote for the Zoom album so far. At least it's off the starting block with 1 point.

I somehow knew Xanadu wouldn't be in your Top 7. So far, it looks like I really am Alone in the Universe in voting for Xanadu as my number one ELO album.

if I were to make a best to worst ELO list, Xanadu would be at the bottom, last place.
