A New World Record Review by Gary Hill This is definitely one of my favorite ELO albums.

All Over the World: The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra Review by Gary Hill "Best of" sets are always weird. I mean, "greatest hits" are not subject to differences of opinion.
More...
Discovery Review by Gary Hill Discovery really represented ELO's foray more fully into pop based music, and particularly disco. It wouldn't land under prog were it not for their previous catalog.

Eldorado Review by Gary Hill This album is an intriguing one.

Electric Light Orchestra Review by John Pierpoint This 1971 album was apparently entitled No Answer in the USA, although this was due to a misunderstanding between the band and the distributor.

ELO2 Review by John Pierpoint First, a confession: I was a huge ELO fan when I was at school. I thought they were the gods of pop.

Face the Music Review by Gary Hill It might be obvious, but this has always been one of my favorite albums from Electric Light Orchestra.

On The Third Day Review by John Pierpoint After two reasonably successful albums for EMI Harvest, Jeff Lynne’s merry men moved over to Don Arden’s Jet records for their next release.
More...
Out of the Blue Review by Gary Hill I know a lot of people dismiss ELO. Certainly their disco era had a lot to do with that. This disc was just at the edge of the start of that.
More...
Secret Messages Review by Gary Hill Let me say upfront that this is not Electric Light Orchestra's best, not by a lot. Also, if I were judging just on this album, it wouldn't go under prog.

Strange Magic: The Best of Electric Light Orchestra Review by Gary Hill

The Essential Electric Light Orchestra Review by Larry Toering ELO is actually one of my favorite bands. Jeff Lynne is a master, so why not reach for the remasters when it comes to pound for pound quality?
More...
Time Review by Gary Hill By the time this album had come out, I had pretty much given up on ELO. That's kind of a shame because there is some fine music here.

Zoom Review by Gary Hill When Electric Light Orchestra came back with Zoom , I think a lot of fans had moved on to other things.

The Move - Message From The Country Review by Gary Hill I'll admit right off the top that I'm not one hundred percent sure about including this disc in the progressive rock section.
