I had heard of ELO from a friend but I didn't know what to expect, but for a buck I took the risk. It was awesome, mostly feel-good music and was one of my favorite dollar bins finds for a long time.
I got Out of the Blue for 25 cents a while later and I think it sort of turned me off from liking the group too much. For every song I really liked on the album there was another I had no idea what to do with. I still have a copies of Discovery and Eldorado sitting around (more dollar bin purchases!) and I should listen to them...eventually. So I guess I only "like" ELO so far. Don't love.

I`d say
Out of the Blue was their crowning achievement as a band and albums like
A New World Record were just leading upto this.
Discovery is a really average album but
Eldorado is a great album and def worth the listen. The hidden gem though in the ELO catalogue is
Time (its much more electronic based) and its an album I`ve always loved.
