*micky's ELO radar goes off hahaha*

great call... it's a fabulous album.. it's a fabulous album.  It's stuck with me for nearly 30 years.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Probably a lot of nostalgia with this bands hit records. It certainly is for me, becauce my parents had most of them. Along with The Wall and a Jimi Hendrix collection it was the most 'experimental' music they owned. I heard No Answer for the first time just a year ago.

agree...my first review (screwed up my email address and was posted under another name hahaha) was of ELO 2.. which is honestly an average at best prog album.  Yet it has HIGH...very HIGh sentimental value and reviewed as with that in mind.

Are you sure? They have a career span very similar to Queen, getting more and more commercial after the first 3-4 albums. So if you've only heard the post '74 releases, I'd reccomend you to check out their first or third album. If you've already know them, I give up.

  I like ELO, too. I have all the albums in your list. I chose A New World Record, I have a weak spot for it; and it's the first album I heard with them quite a long time ago.

I dont think ELO ever equalled ELDORADO, though many seem to want it to be something else or compare it to other progressive bands. Showdown from the previous  album seem to set the stage for Eldorado, that song and Fire on High would have fit nicely on Eldorado and I think they always went back to that creative time period with later concepts only to fall short or try to extend it too far. Has anyone heard the bonus tracks from the remaster of Eldorado, pretty interesting Overture and Dark City sound inspired even now.Clown

Can't argue with that!!
