After three and a half months of voting we have reached the grand final of the worst ELO track.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed and voted so far, we have one more vote left to post.
Vote above for the worst track.

I voted for I'm Leaving You, BOMM is masterpiece... I wouldn't say masterpiece exactly, but having listened again to ILY, with it's trademark lumpen percussion, I changed my vote.
BOMM might be a bit long but it's much more original and probably nearer what ELO were supposed to be playing.

Hear, hear! I'll repeat the same argument as last time: I think with BOMM at least there was the intention of getting somewhere. The result was terrible, but the intention was there. "I'm leaving you" is just going for another standard Jeff Lynne late era song.

Who knew, it looks like Marston Moor is going to run away with the prize but I’ll give it another 24 hours. You want more polls ?!?, stay tuned for the next poll, I’ve 138 ELO single covers we will soon be voting on, the poll should start later in the week. But of course if you were paying attention to the ‘here is the news’ banner on the home page you would already know this

Horacewimp great job on this one, it was an original contest. Good idea and well implemented. We now officially have the ultimate ELO terrible song! Thank you!

BOMM has once again been dubbed the least desirable ELO song.

Battle Of Marston Moor (July 2nd 1644) is officially our worst ELO track.
The next contest will be to find the best ELO single cover, the poll will start later this week.
