Come on, eloneen , you are always too perfect and civil. You should let me induce you to crime once in a while. So, are you trying to provoke me by leaving out "Big Wheels," too? Hey, I said it had 50% chance of being #12 if there needed to be a #12!

Why are you hiding under a chair, @ole ? I should, as it was me who shot at two sacred cows! By the way, are you Norwegian? Your name would suggest so...

OK, Mr. Lawyer, you also said that "Big Wheels" or "Mr. Blue Sky" could be dropped. I can read, you know! Super clever, changing your tune after the fact!

1- Sweet talking Woman 2- Starlight 3- Jungle 4- Believe me now 5- Steppin' out 6- Standing in the rain 7- Summer and Lightning 8- Sweet is the Night 9- Birmingham Blues 10- Wild West Hero 11- Latitude 88 North I'd discard all of the others, but if I had to make it to 12, the one missing should come out of "Big Wheels" or " Mr. Blue Sky".
Y......you d....don't like Mr Blue Sky?
Easy, kid *puts a cold cloth on your forehead* not everyone does.

I'm not particularly fond of editing albums after the fact. But IF you should edit Out of The Blue, what's the point of cutting it down to 12 songs? Why not go the full distance and make it an old fashioned 10 song album? And in that case I would choose:
A:
Turn To Stone It's Over Sweet Talking Woman Night In The City Starlight
B: Steppin' Out Big Wheels Mr. Blue Sky Sweet Is The Night Wild West Hero

You said, on a fan forum, that you don't care for (or words to that effect) Turn To Stone and Mr Blue Sky. I thought I'd protect myself from the oncoming storm.
I think Turn To Stone is a monumental pop masterpiece. I've been in love with it for 40 years. It is rivalled only by.......Mr Blue Sky.

When did I unleash anything remotely similar to a storm against someone who likes songs I dislike (although in the case of "All over the world" I could make an exception)? If anything, I'm the one who had to have my status as a fan questioned for not liking "Turn to Stone".

Here ya go, me friend, @ole . *puts another cold cloth on your forehead* with a shot of, whatever you'd like, to calm your nerves. But! I can guarantee when I hear Damey singing Mr Blue Sky, I will tear up and think of you

Eliminate "Big Wheels?" NEVER!!!!!!! I like "Jungle" now, too, so that one's a keeper for me! Ditch "Starlight" and "The Whale" if anything. Wow eloneen, I'm so disappointed! Discard "The Whale"? Man, that's sad!

Man, that's sad! OOTB is one of my favorite ELO albums, and, yes, those two songs are my least favorite on that album. I find "Starlight" annoying, and I find "The Whale" to be kind of boring. I know I'm not alone in not caring for it. It's not terrible. It's better than "Starlight" though.

I've written this before. "The Whale" is filler.
