Great show again, Pete. ELO was the first rock concert I ever attended, back in the '70's. Last year, my wife and I went to the Jeff Lynne gig in Amsterdam (basically the Wembley setlist) and it was fantastic. Jeff Lynne is one the very few of rock music's true songwriting geniuses. My own list: 1 Mr Blue Sky 2 Fire on high 3 Standing in the rain 4 Tightrope 5 Eldorado Overture 6 Rockaria! 7 Livin’ thing 8 Poker 9 The diary of Horace Wimp 10 Across the border Honorable mentions: well, I could go on and on....

I flew from my hometown to Fort Worth, Texas to see ELO in concert on Sept. 1, 1978. It was the best concert I EVER saw, with the second best being Yes in Austin, TX on June 1, 1979. The only reason the ELO show edges out the Yes show, was the incredible set and light show. It was the "Out of the Blue" tour, with the Spaceship stage! Loved your list, and your comments! Thanks for doing this one! As for my Top 10........it was super hard for me to narrow my list down to 10! And my Honorable Mentions outnumber my Top 10. 1. Tightrope 2. Standin' In the Rain 3. Big Wheels 4. Night in the City 5. Across The Border 6. Strange Magic 7. Showdown 8. Evil Woman 9. Do Ya 10. Boy Blue Then, Honorable Mentions, from first to last: So Fine Livin' Thing Telephone Line Mission (A World Record) Rockaria (Rock (Rock & Roll) Aria (Opera) Mr. Blue Sky 10538 Overture Turn to Stone Sweet Talkin' Woman Wild West Hero El Dorado Overture/Can't Get It Out of My Head Laredo Tornado Birmingham Blues Roll Over Beethoven Twilight Ticket To the Moon Once again, I spent most of the day listening to ELO, and working on my lists!

Great insights, as always, Pete. It’s nice to see Jeff getting the respect he so deserves these days. It’s weird what time can do. The Zoom album, which I feel is far superior to Jeff’s latest, Alone In The Universe, was a commercial flop, yet AITU is a bonafide hit, as were the recent live shows. The Zoom Tour never really got off the ground, as the 9/11 attacks coincided with its launch and negatively impacted turnout, leading to its cancellation. Jeff deserved better, for sure. For those who haven’t heard Zoom, it’s well worth buying and is full of Jeff’s baroque and roll genius. The Zoom Live DVD is possibly my favorite in my entire concert library; just phenomenal!

OK. First of all, thank you Pete (Sea of Tranquility) You're amazing. I won't disagree with your list because each one reacts differently to a song, and you're honest enough to mention that this whole list (as all others you've brilliantly done) may change next week! One comment before my top 10: ELO is one of the bands you can tell that sounds like no other. They have their particular sound, and can't be defined as a single type of band. They do Rock, Prog, Pop, Art rock, whatever. My list: 1 - Last Train to London - because it was the first ELO song I've heard and was my kickoff for this amazing band. 2 - Prologue-Twilight - because it contains one of the best piano solos from Richard Tandy. 3 - The Fall - for the way Jeff sings the third chorus an octave higher. Few people give Jeff credit for his incredible vocals. Kelly was also instrumental in that. 4 - Fire on High - their most fantastic instrumental. 5 - First Movement - the only Roy Wood's song here. Amazing acoustic guitar with strings!!! 6 - The hole Concert for a rainy day - Standin' in the rain, Big wheels, Summer and Lightning and Mr. Blue Sky (yes, I've cheated on this one). 7 - Livin' thing - no one could leave this out of an ELO top 10. Neither me!!! I wouldn't dare! 8 - In the hall of the mountain king. Grieg must be proud of this one! Another instrumental. 9 - Eldorado Overture/Can't get it out of my head - The power of a 40 piece orchestra!!! 10 - Poker - One of the few songs with Kelly as the main vocal, the guitar riff and Richard's AMAZING keyboard! Honorable Mentions: 10538 Overture Look at me now Queen of the hours Whisper in the night In old Engand town From the Sun to the World Kuiama Ocean Breakup/King of the Universe Daybreaker Showdown Dreamin' of 4000 New world rising Evil woman - my 11th song, missed top ten by one miserable point (it is the song that plays on my phone when my wife calls me, but she is nice. I just love the piano intro). Strange Magic Do Ya So fine - please, Pete, pay attention to the bass line Kelly plays on this track. It is fantastic! All Out of the Blue songs not on my top 10! Wishing - My cousin loves that keyboard intro. It's catchy. On the run Diary of Horace Wimp Don't bring me down Midnight Blue - 12th position. It was used in a Brazilian TV for years when they went to commercial breaks. All over the world I'm Alive All other songs from TIME Calling America Four little diamonds So serious Secret Messages Alright When I was a boy That's it!!! Regards from Brazil!!! Jorge

I was a huge fan of the band in the 70's & it is probably hard now for people to understand what an international phenomena they were. I sort of bought out of them after the *Discovery* album which might have been a smart move! That said & as you can pick them up for pennies on eBay, I did buy a few of those 80's albums & I would say your summation was spot on. That said there was a track Lynn did for I think a film that is on one that went straight into my ELO Top 10 called *"Stranger."* It is a GREAT track & the sentiment of it really chimed with what was happening in my life at that time. I also have a little holiday shack on the Essex coast here in the UK & an ELO tribute band pitched up in the village to play a small community centre. Mate & I went along for a laugh thinking they were going to be awful but they were fecking amazing & we had a great night!

I like ELO, really love some songs. However I LOVE The Move. Roy Wood is a genius, his solo album Boulders is a masterpiece where Roy plays almost all the instruments. The Move version of Do Ya kills the ELO version. Some people wish that Roy and Jeff could have stuck together, but it probably wouldn't work - too many chefs. The Move had a shorter time; between '66-71, but it was filled with brilliance. Love your vids Pete, been binging the last week.

One thing I'd like to include: Prelude/Twilight was integrated (read unauthorized use) of Daicon IV. This is a combination of Western comics and anime/manga. The sound quality is breathtaking and is the amalgamation of fandom. Pete, I highly doubt you'll respond, but it's a beauty. (Boring stuff: It was animated by Studio Gainax in 1981-4, had a laser disc release that's worth a fortune. Decades later ELO authorized a release for a Japanese drama with said song that pays homage to Daicon IV).

Kind of threw me for a loop as I know you generally stay away from focusing on the hits in your Top 10. I was also surprised you didn’t give a nod to Kelly Groucutt’s vocals on Poker, which was nice to see in the 10. I’m also surprised how little love “Time” gets from the faithful. Certainly a change of direction but the songs are much more consistent than Discovery, IMO. If you haven’t revisited it recently, I encourage you to spin it. “Ticket to the Moon” harkens back to “Telephone Line.” “The way life’s meant to be” is so good I almost fell over that it didn’t even get a nod. “21st Century Man” and the “Rain is Falling” can’t be overlooked too. Anyway, here’s how I see it. 1. Telephone Line 2. Mr. Blue Sky 3. Standing in the Rain 4. The Way Life’s Meant to Be 5. Do Ya 6. 10538 Overture 7. Poker 8. Boy Blue 9. Kuiama 10. Showdown Too many honorable mentions but definitely one of my all time favorite bands.

Great picks, Pete! With ELO, just about everything is top notch. Happy New Year, man! P.S. --- I was always a sucker for Livin' Thing. When I hear that, it's stuck in my brain for a week every time. Like you mentioned, Jeff Lynne is really good at hooks that stick with the listener. I can just think of Livin' Thing, how it goes, without even listening to it, and bam, it plays in a loop in my head. Some Beatles songs do that, too. Just strong hooks.

I know ELO mainly because of Twilight which was featured in Japanese science fiction convention Daicon IV. That's why most of the ELO songs I know are from Time. That and I like electronic 80s music. Twilight Another Heart Breaks Hold on Tight 21st Century Man Yours Truly 2095 Here is the News Don't Bring me Down Ticket to the Moon The Way Life's meant to be Xanadu

Great band with a lot of great songs. I'm going to have to wait before I do a long response to this, as it'd be really tough for me to decide on a top 10. I will say that I love the album "El Dorado". And a lot of my top 10 will probably come from "Face the Music", "A New World Record", and "Out of the Blue". But I do also like the album "Time". For me (a computer programmer/sysadmin, and also a fan of science fiction) the song "Yours Truly, 2095" is a really great fun song.

Very late to the party apologies...Trivia time..If you listen to the Crack of thunder on the opening of "concerto for a rainy day", you can hear Richard Tandy talk the concerto for a rainy day words lightly mixed into the thunder crack using a vocoder. Simply awesome. and of course "Fire on high" backward parts are saying..." The music is reversible but time is not, turn back, turn back, turn back." I talked to Jeff once, great man as we all agree

Great list - always hard to pick just 10 songs from a great band. Unless I missed it being mentioned I think their version of Roll Over Beethoven should have gotten an Honorable Mention - I love the strings on ELO's take on it!

Kindda surprised by Poker! A bit underrated, from an album that ended up in the shadow of A New World Record and Out Of The Blue. My top fourteen, in no particular order would be: Mr. Kingdom Can't Get It Out Of My Head Queen Of The Hours From The Sun To The World In Old England Town Dreaming Of 4000 Laredo Tornado Mission (A New World Record) Across The Border Mr. Blue Sky Standin' In The Rain Steppin' Out Here Is The News Ticket To The Moon Love the channel - keep up the good work!

the album Eldorado is like a concerto by master musicians. Fantastic escapism.
