This reminds me, we haven't done an Ultimate ELO Song Tournament, for a while. Maybe we could? Horacewimp ? Sounds good to me, I’m happy to run it in the new year but someone would need to remind me, alternatively I’m happy for someone else to arrange it sooner , PM me and I’ll set up a new folder etc. I can do it if you like. I've kinda run a few in the past, so its no problem.

This is a tricky one of course, but here goes... Standin' In The Rain Kuiama Losing You Dreaming Of 4000 Stranger Fire On High Wild West Hero Hello My Old Friend Ordinary Dream The Fall Tightrope After All The absence of anything from Time is my protest at the handling of the album's 40th anniversary! If it were not for that, Rain Is Falling may have sneaked in somewhere

Twilight Secret Messages Turn To Stone (original recording!) It`s Over (completely underrated song!) Helpless All Over The World I`m Alive Tightrope 21st Century Man Easy Money (Ringo Starr`s drumming brings this great and underrated song truly alive) Mr. Blue Sky Hello My Old Friend
But I could easily name another 12 songs which are just as great ... (Livin` Thing, Danger Ahead, Heaven Only Knows, Love Changes All, Buildings Have Eyes (goofy but great, it really should have been on SM), One Summer Dream, Moment In Paradise, Night In The City, o.k. I better stop now ...)

A tough proposition and very much influenced by my current preferences (Sun to the World would never have made it in the previous 30 years but currently adore it) but here goes:
10538 Overture (love the cello on this, nice one Roy) From the Sun to the World New World Rising (love the violin solo on this) Ma Ma Ma Belle Mister Kingdom (builds and builds, then stops) Eldorado (hair on the neck time) One Summer Dream Nightrider Above the Clouds (one of Jeff’s most underrated songs) Big Wheels (BIG chorus) Wild West Hero (great memories singing this with a stranger) Diary of Horace Wimp (first of their songs I fell in love with)

This is so hard to do! Across the Border- may not listen to it every day but my absolute favorite In my Own Time Illusions in G Major- have I mentioned that I thought Jeff said something about "constipation" until I got the lyrics and realized it was "Cost a penny"? All my Love- had tears in my eyes first time I heard it, so beautiful Steppin' Out- such an inspirational song The Sun Will Shine on You- so peaceful Just for Love Boy Blue Destination Unknown Last Train to London Standin' in The Rain Xanadu Overture- what a FANTASTIC piece of music! Whoever thought it should be cut down to 43 seconds should be severely punished!
