 Great CD Nov 27, 2009
This is a great CD if you're an ELO fan. It has all their greatest hits plus a few more.

Just right for me Aug 07, 2009
I am not what you would call a big ELO fan. I have friends, who are, and I agree with why they like them, and I have always liked the hits here, but wouldn't have run out to by my first CD of them after all these years...
But then, I was driving my youngest home after her practice with the district honor Orchestra, where she plays various string and Bass instruments and ELO came on the radio and I turned it up and asked her to identify what she heard. She sat and listened and got a big smile on her face and started calling off the strings. "You can do that with rock music?" she asked. Evidently yes you can!
So I got this set for her to broaden up her view, and mine as well.
Great Orchestral Rock.

 Would have been just as good if half as long.... Jun 16, 2009
OK, so it's a guilty pleasure! I wouldn't even call ELO a "rock band" but I do like some of their tunes. All of the hits you remember from '70's radio stations are all there, but there's more that could have been left out (unless you're an ELO groupie). Some of their stuff is just plain cheezy, muzak.
