Rockaria!
Evil Woman
Sweet Talkin' Woman

My favourite album is Discovery. Most of their output after 1981 was below par.

Here you go "Soldier"!

ELO..

Telephone Line is my favorite single, then maybe "Do Ya" at 2nd.

Livin' Thing
Cant Get You Out Of My Head
Ma Ma Ma Belle
10538 Overture

Are a few other singles to mention.

Hey I`m listening to the first album right now.......I always like to start at the beginning and I`m enjoying the first album a lot more now than I previously did. On the early albums Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood before his departure pretty much split singing and songwriting duties. The whole album has a strong baroque and cello feel (Roy Wood influenced) whereas the Beatles style influences come from Jeff Lynne. The album also strongly hints at the future ELO sound.
