this site gives you a set amount of time to type in as many ELO songs as you can - it automatically places them into album lists maybe save it for a weekend and do it instead of a crossword no cheating, have to do it from memory one caveat - it must be old, it knows about Zoom, but not AITU www.sporcle.com/games/filtyting/electric_light_orchestra

Need to give it a try when I’m on my own with no distractions.

Edit: I just checked. 10 minutes! We'll see!

Only 42% on my first try!! In my defense, I was very distressed that it would not take my answers for Big Wheels and Don't Walk Away , so I tried multiple times with both of those, and wasted valuable time... Then there were the typos I needed to correct... I know I've got serious ELO song cred, so there! ... Silly game ! smileys-whistling-823718

OK. So I've become obsessed with getting a respectable score on this game. Yes, I do have a life, and yes, I do have serious and more important things to do with my time. Fourth try: 61% . I'm a terrible typist, and there's at least one mistake, one omission, and something a little glitchy with the program, so I'm OK with that score for now. Even with all of that it's still a lot of fun! Thanks orioles70 !

Got a 68% first try. I am a slow typer, and it wouldn't take a few of my answers, but it's very fun. I'll have to try again. Hint, it's easiest if you fill in your answers in order of the record. Knocked NWR out in about 30 seconds. Thanks orioles70 !

nobodyschild That's superb! I'm impressed! I'm sure I'm a much slower (and less accurate) typist than you are; and for whatever reason, I drew blanks every time trying to go in album order (long day maybe? ), so I went with the random order approach to keep things moving...

83%! Hmm, better. But, to my shame, forgot BIuebird and nobodyschild - How could I? Now I feel terrible! There's Sorrow about to fall, all right. (And yes, I forgot that one, as well.)

I had a go last night with the tv on and got 46%, my downfall was to start with the first album and work my way up from that. Bad tactic, will try again later. 51% getting better but Mrs Wimp started talking to me half way through

Ouch, only 52% on try number one! I am ashamed. I tried to go by album, but seemed to have more luck just writing in the first ones that popped into my head.

Bad tactic, will try again later. 51% getting better but Mrs Wimp started talking to me half way through Horacewimp I approached it that way the first time, too, and ended up with 42%. Taking a different approach helped somewhat. If at first you don't succeed... BIuebird, elophile and Horacewimp I feel a little better now...I'm still in very good company with you all!
