electric light orchestrahad to have this cd because of the honda accord commercial featuring "just hold on to your dream" as background music - franklylike the song better than the car.
Almost all the great remasterd E.L.O. songs but..............
L. I've checked all the E. O. remaster songs as of the date of this review and if you buy the E. L. O Burning Bright CD along with Flashback you will have all the best E. L. O "remasterd" songs and the Burning bright CD remasterd is a discount CD to! .
Good compilation
Lowest marks for not including "Can't Get it Out of My Head". Highest marks for including "Stranger", a lost gem that I absolutely love, and have since I first heard it many moons ago. Oh well, can't have everything.
Better than ELO Classics
Song list
Turn to Stone, Livin Thing, Standin in the Rain, Stranger, Strange Magic, Hold on Tight, Night in the City, Do Ya, Fire on High and Rock 'n' Roll is King. Although this compilation isn't entirely that great but it's nice that they have Fire on High (which should've been on the Greatest Hits album as well as Strange Music: The Best Of) and I used to crank up Standin' in the Rain all the time around the late months of 1996 to about summer of 1997, that song should've been a huge hit, it's also nice to see them put Night in the City on here as well, I remember that I desparately wanted to hear Strange Magic cause it was one of my favorite songs around that time period.
A Super Cool CD to Own!!
Not only does it have thier greatest music but it is great quality as well. For the fans of ELO, this is the keeper. Don't buy it for liner notes or fancy artwork - there is none of that here. Only the greatest pop group ever. If you want fancy artwork or liner notes, buy vinyl for the best visuals. No other band can play like this with such emotion. Boy, I wished they stilled toured.
