Out of the Blue was a five way tie (thanks guys!! I think we will need to run semi finals now) between Turn to Stone, Sweet Talkin' Woman, Stepping Out, Sweet is the Night and some other song I can't remember remind me Helmut83, oh yes that filler track Summer and Lightning  Round six gives us Eldorado, which is the best track, vote above. |

I think Jeff Lynne is at the top of his game vocally on Laredo Tornado, so I will vote for that song.

Tough one - 'Nobody's Child' for Richard's piano.

The obvious choice is "Can't get it out of my head", which -this time yes- I agree is the best song of the album.
However, because I'm a complicated guy I'll go with "Illusions in G major". I love that little rocker.

Boy Blue for me, the intro and middle bit are simply amazing and I love all the crusading lyrics about being jailed and impaled etc |

...I love all the crusading lyrics about being jailed and impaled etc Yeah, that's pure poetry, no doubt! I remember once I wrote a poem to a girl and it talked about being impaled and such. For reasons I never understood that relationship didn't last much longer. |

chicane... woo hoo !! It has to be, easy choice. I'm sure Jeff sings "she came" when singing live or is it my cloth ears? |

Live it looks and sounds to me like "on a wave she came" - it's also a more direct rhyme to "name":
But watching Jeff's enunciation here, where I think he's probably miming, it seems to be "a wave chicane":

Illusions is a vastly underrated song.

Horacewimp, too late to vote?  Illusions in G Major

, but we're OK. 
Apparently it's quite hard to see them with the naked eye, you need to be looking through a camera or other type of lens?
