I agree with Timeblue (this is a first! .) God knows what I wrote a million years ago. Not over thinking here is mine. You agree with me? wow, are you ill? (or drunk....) A momentary lapse of reason due to total sensory deprivation causing hallucinations and bizarre thoughts. I'm fine now, thank-you.

Darn it, you're too clever for me... but that's no reason to give up And you are clever enough, seeing how you master charming and flattering techniques. In fact, I think your are one of the most clever persons I've ever... Oh yeah? Well, in response, I'm the blonde in this clip and you're the smirking brunette in the dodgy flares

For me: Out of the Blue - "Summer and Lightning" (My all-time favorite ELO song) Whoa! I knew the day would come! I knew at some point I'd find someone else with superb musical taste! "Summer and Lightning" is my all-time favorite ELO song too, my friend! In case you are wondering, there's extensive proof of that on this forum. You know Helmut, I have to ask, did you ever make a YouTube video that was a top 20 list of your favorite list of ELO songs? I think we briefly discussed our mutual taste there in the comments but I don't think the video is available for me to watch! I also recall some giving you a hard time in the comments since your favorites didn't include mainly singles. As if it's criminal to have your own opinion!

I think we briefly discussed our mutual taste there in the comments but I don't think the video is available for me to watch! Yeah, I remember! So it was you! Nice to have you here as well, welcome! I also recall some giving you a hard time in the comments since your favorites didn't include mainly singles. As if it's criminal to have your own opinion! Some? Almost all of them! People calling me an idiot, ignorant and how many other things because their favorites were not on my list. On top of everything, not many of ELO's greatest hits are among my favorites so that irked them even more. I was amazed at how few people understood what an opinion is -particularly when it comes to music, which should not be a particularly sensitive subject- and the amount of insults that a favorite 25 ELO songs ranking brought me. Whoa, I have just checked among my videos and it's not there any longer! I'm indignant, why did that happen? It only contained 15-second long parts of songs, it's not like Jeff Lynne would lose money because of that. In any case, it could well be working as publicity. Fuck YouTube and fuck those greedy assholes. I took me a good amount of work to do it, and I had like 50,000 views the last time I checked. All of that thrown to the can because according to their estimations the Jeff Lynne brand could lose, worst case scenario, an approximate 3 cents of Pound Sterling. Fuck them.

That's honestly too bad. But it goes to show that they were likely ELO fans on the surface (Mr. Blue Sky, Don't Bring Me Down, Evil Woman) but they probably don't even know about Bluebird, Waterfall or especially Summer and Lightning. As for your video being removed, I'm so sorry! I had a similar list many years back and it was removed maybe a week later. I guess because there were too many songs? Not sure. But I feel the frustration. So sorry again!

Exactly, claytonm4500. No matter how many times I tried to make it clear that it was not a greatest hits list but my personal favorites, the same kind of insults kept coming because the big hits were not there (you forgot to mention Turn To Stone, I lost count of how many times people repproached me it's absence). Thank you! The weird thing is that my video stood for almost 7 years! You'd think that if there were a reason to take it down, they would had taken it down not long after it was posted, as happened with yours. But no, mine went on for 6+ years and suddenly there was something wrong with it.

Ah yes, Midnight Blue, my second favorite on Discovery just behind Wishing. I tried making a cover demo of the song but I am no pianist so I just played chords!

I'm surprised by the general lack of singles in my list, but here it is, anyway:
Mr. Radio From The Sun To The World (Boogie #1) Daybreaker Mister Kingdom One Summer Dream Mission (A World Record) Big Wheels The Diary Of Horace Wimp All Over The World Rain Is Falling Hello My Old Friend* Sorrow About To Fall Ordinary Dream When I Was A Boy
*If this doesn't count, I'll happily settle for Stranger...

"What is your favorite ELO ..." anything always prompts a wide variety of responses.
Electric Light Orchestra - 10538 Overture ELO 2 - Roll Over Beethoven On the Third Day - Dreaming of 4000 Eldorado - Can't Get It out of My Head Face the Music - Waterfall A New World Record - Mission (A World Record) Out of the Blue - Big Wheels Discovery - Don't Bring Me Down Xanadu - Don't Walk Away Time - Um, uh, When Time Stood Still, and if that doesn't work, From the End of the World Secret Messages - Hello My Old Friend Balance of Power - Getting to the Point Zoom - Lonesome Lullaby Alone in the Universe - Alone in the Universe

StrangeMagic Our lists overlap quite a bit! In half the cases we favor exactly the same songs!
