So here is my take:

1. Wild West Hero
2. Mr. Blue Sky
3. One Summer Dream
4. Misson (A World Record)
5. Showdown
6. 21st Century Man
7. Tightrope
8. Midnight Blue
9. Telephone Line
10.On The Run

"Tightrope" was a John Lennon favorite, I believe.

Unless it was "Showdown."

Whatever it was, he traced the lineage from "What'd I Say" and "I Feel Fine."

I know for certain that John Lennon was quoted as loving "Showdown" and sort of saying ELO were "mini-Beatles" or something like that. No idea whether he liked "Tightrope" or not, but I guess he did as long as he liked good music. :)

"Twilight" and "Diary Of Horace Wimp" were both very close to ending up in my Top 10 too btw.

it's not like I can turn back time, but if I could, I would throw "Showdown" in my top ten...I had forgotten how good that one is...

Btw. even though it didn't quite make my list, I also have a soft spot for the one ELO track on "Xanadu" that wasn't a single. "The Fall" is one of their best ever 80s tracks.
