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 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

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

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