 Where's the beef? :-P Jul 23, 2009
Where's "Don't Bring Me Down"?? It's ONLY the only listenable song this band ever recorded...one would think that simple economics would require its inclusion.
 THE FIFTH WILBURY Oct 06, 2008
This album is Terrific, you will know most all the tunes from radio. 11 songs just enough, no filler like so many Hits albums. Lynn's arangements and textures are amazing, I never knew he was such a force in the Wilburys. Sure wish he would form a new Wilburys style band, maybe KD Lang, Nils Lofgren, Petty, Dylan & Lynne of course. Yeah Jeff give them all a call.
Excellent. ELO Rocks Jul 23, 2008
I recently heard Strange Magic playing on the radio, and for a while I kept wondering who played that song, until I found out it was ELO. I decided to buy a cd from ELO. I wanted to try a new rock group out for a change, instead of the rock bands I usually listen to. I've never really heard any of their music, until I listened to ELO's Greatest Hits, and now I like listening to them. Strange Magic is one of the most beautiful rock songs I've ever heard (along with Echoes from Pink Floyd, and Ramblin Man from Allman Brothers). Other songs like Evil Woman, are also great. ELO is now on my list of favorite rock bands.
It's Strange Magic May 06, 2008
I am really happy I bought this cd. I originally bought it just for the songs "Strange Magic" and "Livin' Thing," but I was pleasantly surprised to find the whole cd (from beginning to end) is great! I did not realize that I was an ELO fan until I heard this cd. I recognized so many other songs from movies and commercials. It is a great collection. Definitly a great introduction to unique music.
Highly recommend.
 Good compilation Oct 14, 2007
Slightly odd this one as I don't recall all of these being hits (in the UK anyway). But maybe some were big in other countries. As a brief overview of their 70's material this pretty good.
The big UK hit singles that made them a huge band are all present and correct. The best is without doubt Mr Blue Sky (which I think acheived their highest chart placing) a marvellous piece of pop and cleverly arranged as well. I still like Rockaria as well, a great rocking tune with a hint of Dylan near the end. A lot of the other songs are well known and are still memorable to this day.
There are a few tracks which really don't work. MA MA MA Belle is a Stones style rocker that sounds completely wrong with the strings added. Another track (name forgotten at the time of writing) sounds like a John Lennon rip-off.
Overall though a fine collection which for the money (very cheap) is well worth getting.
