Toss up between RIF and 21CM, gone for 21CM (love the reprise in the epilogue too)

Could have been anyone of the (ROF/HITN and 21CM) but for me 21CM edges it too. However, the best song from the sessions was not included I assume as it was not released on the original album.
So stand up and take a bow ' When Time Stood Still' the best song from this time IMHO

21CM will probably win this round, but I've chosen TLGD. It's different and unexpected.
I'm not a fan of reggae, but this song works for me.

how about a write in vote for "Julie"? didn't make it onto the vinyl but she did make it onto my newer CD and how about all the other lost and lonely tunes - could we treat "ELO - The Prodigal Songs" as an unofficial album?

The track lists are as per the albums I’ve in my collection, so bonus tracks are not allowed, it’s the rules

I love most of the songs on this side, but plumping for Here is the News, as I just love the video so it always makes me smile when I hear it
Edit - surprised to see Hold on Tight with not many (or any) votes

Familiarity breeds contempt?

I'll do the same and give my write in vote for "The Bouncer" ("El Patovica"), second-best song on the album for me after "The way life's meant to be". As for the actually "votable" songs, having to choose one of them is a reminder of what a brilliant album "Time" is. Jeff's songwriting was at its best moment here. They are all so good I could vote for any of them (except "Epilogue" which is not a song really). I'll honor my country of origin and vote for "Desde el fin del mundo", a song I like a lot.

From the End of the World for me. Great song, ending with thunderous drumming by Bev.

Rain Is Falling - It could have found a place within Concerto For A Rainy Day. One of Jeff's very best 80's vocals.
