Here is my List for ELO ‘s (in ALL it’s forms!!) TOP TEN SONG AWARDS:
BEST LYRICS: Hold on Tight to Your Dreams (How can I chose!!! Lol)
MOST UNLIKED SONG : (by ME!!) Telephone Line
BEST ‘JEFF’ SINGING: All Over The World
BEST MELODY: Turn to Stone
MOST INAPPROPRIATE FOR AN ELO ALBUM: Xanadu
BEST VISUAL PERFORMANCE: Wembley or Bust
BEST INSTRUMENTAL: Roll Over Beethoven Live
MOST UNDERRATED: Twilight
MOST ANNOYING (to me) : Don’t Bring me Down
BEST SONG EVER: Cant Get You Out of My Head
This is a somewhat ‘whimsical list’ How can you rate such genius?? I know theres been much litigation, spin-off groups, animosity, but at the end of the day, the Genius that is Jeff Lynne, like him or not, has given us THE very best music of our era. Please feel free to disagree with my TOP 10!! As I say, its just a fun thing I decided to do to welcome MYSELF into this Group!! Much love to all. Trish in Australia.

Sure, why not?
BEST LYRICS: Nobody Home
MOST UNLIKED SONG : Since you said ELO in all forms, I'll say Heartbreaker, from the first ELO Part 2 album. Generic rock at its very worst.
BEST ‘JEFF’ SINGING: Moment In Paradise
BEST MELODY: So many to pick from....but I'll say Julie Don't Live Here.
MOST INAPPROPRIATE FOR AN ELO ALBUM: Battle of Marston Moor. (my loooordddd kingg!)
BEST VISUAL PERFORMANCE: Depends what you mean by visual performance. I guess the 1974 Rockpalast performance. Rough and unpolished, but great nonetheless.
BEST INSTRUMENTAL: Eldorado Finale
MOST UNDERRATED: Everyone's Born To Die
MOST ANNOYING : Secret Lives

Best Lyrics.... Livin Thing Least favorite Song.....Drum Dreams Jeff's best Singing......Starlight Best Melody....Shine A Little Love Most Inappropriate for An ELO album.....I assume you mean the most un-ELO like song on an ELO album, so I say The Lights Go Down Best Visual Performance.....idk what you mean. I agree that Wembley or Bust is cool though.
Best instrumental.....Lucky Motel Most Underrated......Point Of No Return Most Annoying.....The Fall Best Song......This could change literally every day, but Rain Is Falling is always near the top.

Best Lyrics.... Hello My Old Friend Least favorite Song.....Do Ya Jeff's best Singing......All Over The World (and virtually the whole of "Out Of The Blue", Jeffs vocals are divine on this record) Best Melody....All Over The World (closely followed by Above The Clouds) Most Inappropriate for An ELO album.....Send It Best Visual Performance..... Wembley or Bust Best instrumental.....Fire On High Most Underrated......21st Century Man Most Annoying.....Rock`n`Roll Is King Best Song......actually impossible to say, half of "Out Of The Blue", All Over The World, Twilight, Secret Messages and Hello My Old Friend are pretty much at the same level for me

In some countries,it's against the law to listen to Twilight without the prologue....true dat.

Quite right too. All ELO gigs should begin with the prologue and Twilight. Unfortunately none ever have, to my knowledge

Since it was the TIME tour, I would imagine that the only way to start the show would be Prologue and Twilight, lucky you eloneen!
