We are not Losing You yet as it progresses from side one as the least liked track.
The final side of the 15 albums we are voting on is above, vote for the worst track.

I went for Sci-Fi Woman but it could just as easily have been Goin' Out On Me. I can't understand why anyone would vote for Songbird!

Goin' Out On Me. I think Sci Fi Woman is the song I play most from this album. Absolutely love it.

I'm very conflicted about the songs on the last side of the last JLELO album to date.
I voted for SciFi, but it easily could have been Songbird or Time of Our Life. Songbird is too sluggish, and writing a song about one gig at Wembley (which I was at) tells me that he was running out of new ideas. And besides, Wembley wasn't the largest in attendance (that was Cleveland in 1978) nor the one that his family attended (Birmingham NEC, 1981, which Bev said that Jeff was particularly emotional about).
This was the first ELO/JLELO I never purchased, so I had to re-listen to them online.

Sorry, soonerorlater, but Songbird is not my cup of tea. I skip it every time. But, while I like Sci-fi Woman, I think the lyrics are weird. I think Jeff found a new sound, wanted to use it in a song, it sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie but the lyrics don't have anything to do with sci-fi. She's just a woman who left him. Dumb.

Wish I could say that I listened to ELO for the lyrics, but that's simply not the case. It was the music, the sound.

FOON is an album I listen to regularly. The title track may be skipped from time to time.
So does Time Of Our Life. I appreciate the sentiment, but it's the weakest song on this side.
The side finishes with the magnificent Songbird. Simple - but so beautiful
