Title: My favorite ELO (and the best?)
Review: I remember back in 1984 listening in San Jose to the John Peel show on local community station radio KFJC and hearing him quote someone about ELO, saying something to the effect that they were a grand experiment that went horribly wrong. I suppose whoever said that meant from Face The Music on, when they started to develop a more commerical sound.I love ELO all the way up through Out of the Blue, but I can see what he meant. Their later stuff is something of a guilty pleasure. And with Discovery, I think they may have gone too far.But this album is my favorite and I would vote it as their best. It's not slick or commercial at all; the sound is rough and raw, and it's powerful. "Showdown" is my favorite ELO song.
