Reviews Customer Reviews for ELO S Greatest Hits      THE FIFTH WILBURY      Rating:       This album is Terrific, you will know most all the tunes from radio. 11 songs just enough, no filler like so many Hits albums. Lynn's arangements and textures are amazing, I never knew he was such a force in the Wilburys. Sure wish he would form a new Wilburys style band, maybe KD Lang, Nils Lofgren, Petty, Dylan & Lynne of course. Yeah Jeff give them all a call.     Customer Reviews for ELO S Greatest Hits Cd      Excellent. ELO Rocks      Rating:      I recently heard Strange Magic playing on the radio, and for a while I kept wondering who played that song, until I found out it was ELO. I decided to buy a cd from ELO. I wanted to try a new rock group out for a change, instead of the rock bands I usually listen to. I've never really heard any of their music, until I listened to ELO's Greatest Hits, and now I like listening to them. Strange Magic is one of the most beautiful rock songs I've ever heard (along with Echoes from Pink Floyd, and Ramblin Man from Allman Brothers). Other songs like Evil Woman, are also great. ELO is now on my list of favorite rock bands. Editorial Reviews for ELO S Greatest Hits Audio Cd      Amazon.com      You can't make a meal of bubblegum, but it sure can be a delicious distraction. ELO's Greatest Hits is filled with gooey, chewy delights--sonic kitsch like "I Can't Get It Out of My Head" (Lennon on Lithium), "Telephone Line" (Kool & The Gang with violins), and the irresistible "Turn to Stone" (Wagner in spandex)--cultural guideposts, whether you want to admit it or not. ELO combined classical elements with electronic rock and their influence can still be heard in new Turk bands playing with Moogs--for all their Beatles-in-space trappings, the group was also pretty damn catchy. Early ELO was spotty, with flavorful items like "Strange Magic" popping out of the lab nevertheless. By the late '70s, producer-songwriter-singer Jeff Lynne had his electronic pop chamber-group machine oiled to perfection, and this package contains a heavy dose of those longer-lasting-flavor years, with well-chosen dabs of essential chewing pleasure. --Don Harrison
