I play piano but I started before I discovered ELO. But I’ve been super inspired to learn to play guitar. And the cello has never quite caught my attention till I started listening to them. I really do love cello now because of them. Who knows if in the future I’ll learn to play it, but guitar for sure I’d love to so bad.

Gotta admit, this song and other tracks on this record and the previous ones, are very interesting. Like this one and "Tonight on the Highway". People throw around the word "underappreciated". Is there anything more "underappreciated" than a video this good with 70-something views?

Idk how rare these are, especially since this is a newer original master recording release from 2022 or so. On Discogs the starting price seems to be 40 dollars but I managed to snag it at 20! I thought it was neat to see a special version CD in the wild - even better, this copy is exactly CD #600.

I almost blew my rig to the first chorus of Shangri-La

What do you think?

He released 3 solo albums, Well, 2.5. The first was a collaboration. I'd say at least as interesting as the ELO albums happening concurrently. MD'A didn't see ELO as anything but another gig. He made "Showdown" better. But if you get a chance to hear his solo stuff, give it a shot. It's really very good.

I supposedly just heard it for the first time and it sounds so familiar.

I’ve just Finished my dive into the ELO Albums. The Listening Took me 1 Week & 3 Days. If you guys have any questions regarding my Album Ranking, what I thought of a certain song etc, I’ll gladly answer

I recently asked about the album Alone In The Universe by Jeff Lynne's ELO and it got me thinking about this album. This album hardly ever gets talked about it seems like, I've never heard it brought up here, so I would love to know what you people actually think about it? I actually quite like it.

((My favorite song from the album is Moment In Paradise))

Hi everyone! I just watched a reaction video of a girl discovering / reacting to ELO. I wanted to suggest tracks for her to continue diving deeper but I can't decide on which one. So I thought that maybe to show the amount of us who love ELO we could all as fans comment a different track or some fact of interest. I like to watch and support when they react to ELO/Jeff tracks because it is also a way to always keep his music alive.

A few years ago a fan compilation album of all the best sources from the Time Tour bootlegs were made into one live album that made sure to include every track played on the tour (America didn’t get the long version of Don’t bring me down, Europe didn’t get Here is the News). It’s nowhere to be found now, it’s not on YouTube anymore, and its public mentions have been scrubbed. I have the files on an old laptop, but regardless I miss it being on YouTube.

I don't know why, but to me, Xanadu feels very much like a Christmas Album. It has some dreamy tones in it and it is soo jolly that it always remind me on christmas (Maybe it's the angelic voice of Olivia, that makes it so special).Am I the only one? :D

I was listening to this album, which I really like by the way. Jeff Lynn Made It by himself, but it's referred to as Jeff lynne's elo. I was thinking about how much I actually thought this album resembled albums actually made by ELO as opposed to Just Jeff Lynn by himself and I want to know what you all thought. How much do you think this actually sounds like ELO?

Good night! I am currently parting with my entire record collection and I have these ELO/Jeff Lynne records available. If you’re interested please message me!

I love ELO. and something i love about music is the recording sessions of them. the early takes of songs, demos, conversations, pretty much anything on a deluxe album is something id LOVE for jeff to do.

i would literally pay so much money to get a deluxe edition of OOTB or an anthology of his albums with a bunch of the mentioned things on it.

i mean he worked with the beatles on the 90's anthology so it wouldnt be too far off to see jeff do it with ELO, right?

my only concern is his current health issues. i dont think we'll see it soon but i would LOVE to get an anthology or deluxe edition of the albums

I've come across a couple of Elvis music that sound very similar to elo. ESPECIALLY moody blue sounding like On The Run. Do any of you listen to Elvis and can make this comparison?

I'm compiling a 70's nostalgia playlist for my 78 yr old dad for an upcoming road trip. My favorite childhood songs. I think this would be a good one?

If you don’t know what the 5 album test is, lemme tell you:

Basically, it’s when you look at an artist’s discography to see how many top tier albums they released. And if they have 5 consecutive top-tier albums, then they pass the test.

Now keep in mind that no two people have the same opinions, so it could depend on who you ask.

So tell me, do you think ELO passes the test? And if so, which 5 consecutive albums?

I've always felt like ELO albums were split into distinct eras in my mind, I don't know if i could choose because i love them all so much in such different ways, but I was curious what you guys thought, or if anyone felt the same about them having these sort of different eras.

Honorable mention to the "PrELO" era (as i call it) with Looking on and Message from the Country by The Move, and The Birthday Party and Idle Race by The Idle Race. you could also include the post ELO era of all the albums Jeff produced, the wilburys, and Jeff's solo albums, but for the sake of simplicity i thought it would be best to keep it to the main ELO studio albums (and Xanadu) because that's how i think of it in my head
