Four Little Diamonds shined brightly in its victory over Melting in the Sun, and will advance onward and upward.
In match number four, two of ELO's biggest songs go head to head, as Secret Messages takes on Sweet Talkin' Woman.
REMEMBER TO VOTE IN THE POLL OR YOUR VOTE WON'T COUNT!

The very first ELO single I bought back in '78 so a no brainer for me....

As much as I love Secret Messages, I can't not vote for the one that got me into the Old Banger and his Shard End mob.

As others on the forum my first ELO single was Sweet Talkin’ Woman, as much as I like Secret Messages I’ve got to vote for the song which got me into the band.

I love Sweet Talkin' Woman too, but Secret Messages edges ahead for me. It's a fantastic opening track with lots of oomph

This is a tough one indeed. In 2016, I saw Jeff perform both of these songs in Birmingham. I thought Secret Messages was the highlight of the show, so I'll pick that one.

A tough one here chippa, but had to go for STW, a classic single from a classic album... this one will be close.

It's Secret Messages for me. It should have been a top 40 hit. I love the intro.

Ooh it's tough. As much as I've really been getting into 'Secret Messages' more and more since I heard Jeff perform it live recently I can't vote against 'Sweet Talkin' Woman'. For me this is the perfect ELO song, it's a better advert for Jeff than 'Mr Blue Sky' in my opinion.

STW- 8 SM - 7
Very close, so far. I'll keep it going for a little longer.

STW- 8 SM - 7 Very close, so far. I'll keep it going for a little longer. What are the rules then? It sounds like you are a fan of SM and are keeping it open until it wins!

If a match is super close, like this one, the poll stays open a bit longer than two or three days. If its a blowout, like we've seen in previous rounds, the poll ends after a day or so. So, its currently tied. As soon as the tie is broken, we'll move on to match five.

I was on the fence when it came to Secret Messages, didn't hate it, didn't love it until I saw Jeff in 2016 and for some reason, that song takes me back to those 2 nights. I love Secret Messages. Having said that, however, I voted for STW. I think this was the second song of ELO's that I heard when I was getting into their music so I gotta go with that one.
