Never won a thing from those contests. It was fun to try, though. You didn’t stand a chance with eloneen hogging all the phone lines to the radio stations We were only dominating the radio contests in our local area (New Orleans), so BSJ could have had a fair shot... If we had been able to extend our hegemony that far north who knows what might have happened?

As a very newbie ELO-fan I have been streaming everything streamable. First albums I bought were Zoom and Jeff's solo Armchair Theatre, witch are not in spotify or iTunes. Then, of course, I have now Wembley or Bust .

It takes a brave man to admit his first album was 'Zoom'....

funny, I never won anything on the radio in the old days, but this year I called in for the first time in ages - and won. Could be that there wasn't much competition. I won a pair of concert tickets to see Randy Newman and his new album on vinyl. Thankfully, he didn't play his song about ELO

Hmm...
Personally, Zoom is an underappreciated masterpiece. It is a GREAT shame that the planned tour in 2001 didn't happen. Ordinary Dream and Lonesome Lullaby are among Jeff's finest work. That first one being one of my most favourite ELO songs - great production (as you'd expect!) and clever lyrics.

I was trying to provoke Timeblue with my comment, but he didn't take the bait. He likes to pick on Americans and the ladies on the forum, so being both, I felt it my duty to seize the opportunity. Oh well, I tried.

Jeez folks let's just luv wun anutha...
My 1st was ANWR; although classmates (including a budding dentist whose nickname was 'Poker') had exposed me to FTM when I wuz too poor to even afford a cassette player, let alone a cassette......
Of course quickly followed by OOTB, Disc & Time.... Time was the clincher that bought my soul.
But in truth I woz hooked early on by CGIOOMH; and even earlier by 10538.
