Light Years- The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra

The Very Best of Supertramp In the midst of the late 1970s punk/new wave revolution, England's Supertramp tore a page from the Genesis playbook, suffusing their previously overwrought prog-rock influences and bittersweet hippie optimism gone sour with muscular pop hooks. They eventually became one of the wo...	All Over the World: The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] The Electric Light Orchestra were one of the biggest and most successful bands of the late 1970s, producing a massive string of hit singles and albums that almost any other band would envy. Their works have been cited as influences by such hip acts as Grandaddy and Super Furry An...	Cars - Complete Greatest Hits If rock's most successful and memorable acts have usually succeeded by wrapping their own distillation of music history and personal tastes in whatever fashionable trappings are currently gripping the culture, it's hardly surprising that the Cars remain one of the most enduring s...	Foreigner - Complete Greatest Hits On the cover of Foreigner's newest collection, the letters that spell out Complete Greatest Hits are cut out from world currency. For example, there's an A from Antarctica, a T from Trinidad, an M from Mongolia, and so on. At least the drive behind this third greatest-hits compil...	America - The Complete Greatest Hits
Eagles - The Very Best Of This packed double-disc is the slim option for fans who find the Eagles' vaunted greatest hits sets too little and the boxed set too hefty. Hit singles large and medium are here, often ("One of These Nights," "Hotel California") still sounding definitive and even tough. Large hel...	Boston - Greatest Hits	The Complete Hit Singles	Styx - Greatest Hits If it's your belief that one of the reasons today's rock is so bereft of personality is that all sense of show business has been drained from the music, then a look back at the career of Styx offers proof positive that it wasn't always thus.

The son of Loretta Lynne ...
At some point in time, maybe it was on VH1 someone said that Jeff Lynne was the son of Loretta Lynne. When I heard that, I thought that finally everything in the world made sense now. All the nations at war, settled and went home for a late tea and an early bedtime. The planets aligned, my cat was happy and my asthma seemed to lessen, even if just ever so lightly. Then I found Wikipedia. Sigh ... and I realized that it was all a lie. It was like something right out of the mouth of Adolf Hitler. "The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it." I guess I bought in. It made sense. Loretta Lynn, Country Western musical genius that she is, and wonderful performer to boot, gives birth to a son who is the musical equivalent of a modern Mozart and an earlier version of Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. A man who writes, composes and plays every instrument on the album and sometimes even does the back-up vocals. Could he then be the grand-father of Modern Techno? Something fantastic, perhaps? Something other than great album art, which ironically, is something that he didn't do. Alas, Loretta Lynn has a few children but none of them are Jeff Lynne. Maybe it was the spelling that finally gave it away. Laughing quietly to myself, now. Lately, ELO has had a mild resurgence with a few of their songs popping up in mainstream films such as Stranger Than Fiction, Martian Child and a host of television commercials both in the United States for Volkswagen and Marks & Spencer's in England. The truth is pretty simple regarding ELO. They've always been good and never needed a resurgence or to be re-discovered by a generation of people that will probably go onto make ELO musicals or cover Lynne's songs on American Idol and the like. This compilation of songs is a great place to start for any casual music listener, but go to the actual albums if you're left looking for more. The albums still hold some quality gems.

Top Notch!
This is a fantastic collection of ELO songs. I already had almost half of them and it was still worth the purchase. If you have ever liked any of their music, (It's a livin' Thing, Telephone Line, Evil Woman, etc.), then you will love this set. Highly recommended.

An ELO fan "must have"!
If you are a ELO fan and want a large collection of their music without breaking the bank, this is the one to get. Just like the label of this CD says, "The Very Best Of The Electric Light Orchestra"

great cd
all these songs are great-I remember hearing most years ago-the one's I have not heard before, I like-if you like E.L.O., get this!

OUTSTANDING!
I gave this CD to my husband for Christmas . . . he was extremely happy that all the top songs that were on the CD.
