Now we are voting on the best track from the album Zoom.

I really like the album. Reminds me of a holiday in Spain. we were on the transfer bus and Ordinary Dream came on the radio. I didn't know that the album was being released. said to my Mrs "This is ELO!!! " Made my holiday!
Having said that "Stranger on a quiet street" is my fave track

I've not actually listened to Zoom for ages, but looking at the track list I'm surprised how hard it is to choose a favourite compared to other albums.

Having agonised between Alright, Moment in Paradise, State of Mind, Easy Money and Ordinary Dream I'm plumping for Alright. It's a really great opener, very upbeat and positive, and in my opinion it joins a group of "Track 1, Side 1" songs which are maybe overlooked as listners gallop on to the meaty bits.

It's all good entertainment, it doesn't cost a penny

Maybe I shouldn't have it cranked?

You won't need a holiday this year now. No need thank me
