Reviews Customer Reviews for Xanadu      Before Harrison, Dylan and McCartney there was Newton-John      Rating:      Let's just start by saying that I was buying the Idle Race 2-cd set and realized that I now had just about everything Jeff Lynne had ever recorded......EXCEPT FOR XANADU! How could I resist? Anyway, I am not going to waste too much space on a Xanadu review. A few of my (random) thoughts: -> This CD confirms my theory that ELO was at least better than Olivia Newton-John (as for my assertion that ELO was better than Abba, we'll have to wait for another day). The ELO half of the CD is WAY BETTER! Actually, the only ONJ track I was able to get through was MAGIC, and I probably won't even listen to that one again for quite a while. Once every 25 years is often enough for me. -> ALL OVER THE WORLD is quite possibly the best Motown rip-off ELO (or anyone else for that matter) ever pulled off. Couldn't they have just done a cover of HEATWAVE or DANCING IN THE STREETS instead? -> I'M ALIVE is still annoying. -> The two ELO non-singles (THE FALL and DON'T WALK AWAY) are actually really good, although the sequence of the two songs should be reversed, since the "It's a lie" chorus in THE FALL sounds a little bit too much like "I'm alive." -> The title track is probably the best thing Olivia ever did. How does Jeff Lynne do it? Finally, I think it is also pretty funny that, before working with his idols (Roy Orbison, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, etc.), Jeff Lynne had to do a duet with Olivia Newton-John. Talk about paying your dues. I guess I did waste a fair amount of space there. Sorry about that.     Customer Reviews for Xanadu Cd      Xanadu CD      Rating:      I love the music from the movie.
