That's a good one Linda. Jeff Lynne is really talented. He produced albums for other artists including George Harrison. And he was a member of The Traveling Wilburys with George, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. Wow what a band!!!

@dgobucks226 Yes, they had so many great songs like the ones you mention. My very favorite, if I had to pick one, is Can't Get It Out Of My Head. Pure genius!

Yes I agree. So many good songs. I saw a PBS program with them in concert. Jeff Lynne is definitely one talented performer. I believe the concert was from 2014. I also like "Turn To Stone, Evil Woman, Don't Bring Me Down, and Sweet Talkin Woman."

I am surprised their hit cover of Roll Over Beethoven isn't included.

It was on their first greatest hits album ( Olé ELO), and yes it should have been included. It was one of the songs that introduced them to people before the “mega hits.”
