There aren't seven ELO albums I like.

Eldorado
ELO 2
Face the Music

And call it a day. The rest I can't stand.
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

I noticed there's not much love for the magical kingdom of Xanadu here. I was the only one who included the album in their Top 7. Cry

1. Xanadu 
2. Out of the Blue 
3. Time 
4. Discovery 
5. A New World Record 
6. Face the Music 
7. Secret Messages

2. The Electric Light Orchestra/No Answer
3. On the Third Day (the version including Showdown)
4. Eldorado
5. Out of the Blue
6. A New World Record

So weird. I know it's their proggiest but it's still a complete mess and not really very good. A typical three star album for me.

That's something we can both agree on. ELO 2 is a typical 3-star album for me too, along with ELO's first and third albums. It's only from the Discovery (or Disco Very) album onwards that I started buying ELO's albums. Smile
