Yeah, "Don't Bring Me Down" & "Rock 'N' Roll Is King" are theirs :)

"Mr. Blue Sky" is my favorite song, but the Xanadu soundtrack is awesome (especially "Xanadu" & "All Over The World") :)

Fire on High (agony of defeat Wide World of Sports theme song many years ago) is a classic. Unfortunately it is not on their Strange Magic 2 CD set I got for x-mas ;(

'Turn To Stone' is my favorite ELO song.

I also like 'Fire On High'. Too bad is not included on any of their compilations.

I'm not a "fan" but they're good!

In the words of Ringo Starr, ELO split up because they ran out of Beatles songs to copy.

I can't say I've heard all of the Beatles' songs, nor ELO's, but the ones I have aren't even close to being similar.

I've never heard Fire On High, but I'll check it out! :)

I do think that a few of the early ELO songs sounded "Beatle-ish". After the first couple albums though, it seemed to diminish. But on the album "Zoom" that was released in 2001, I did hear a distinct nod to the Beatles again on a few songs. George Harrison once commented...that if the Beatles would have remained together as a band, they would have evolved to an ELO type sound.

That's kind of odd to think about..."BLO"?

"Last Train To London" is indeed ELO's and is included in the Discovery album (a fantastic album btw) :)

I personally think Zoom's great.
