The first one sounds a bit like The Move..Roy Wood was still with them.
The second has the Roll Over Beethoven suite and some other good tracks.
They do a cover of an old Move song on New World Record called Do Ya...prolly written by Lynne for the Move.
The first one with Roy Wood sounds the most interesting. Is it any good?

2nd
1st
Eldorado (never got the Wizard of Oz pic for the cover...apparently Lynne must like the still)
Third day

That's true. Afterall once Roy Wood left the band ELO became a singles band and they lose their proggy edge. You take Eldorado which a lot of people like here. It may be a concept album but really there's a couple of singles in it. That's all. Jeff Lynne wrote good singles. He has never been able to write good albums.

1. The Electric Light Orchestra
2. ELO 2
3. Time
4. On The Third Day, I guess?
5. ehhhh, whatever

ELO's debut is probably my favourite album by a band I'm not generally a fan of

Shocked What.. We'd better have that bottom 7 poll!

not gonna participate with a list, at least for now,  I tried listening to some ELO today, but just could not finish listening to a whole album. I need a special mood it seems. 

Oh, and Xanadu sucks... Evil Smile LOL
I somehow knew Xanadu wouldn't be in your Top 7. Tongue

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

I know Cristi wouldn't have listed Xanadu in his Top 7 either. Smile
l don't think that you're going to see any more votes for Xanadu as it's not too well liked by fans. The same with the two albums that went before it.

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