Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. ELO “Out of the Blue”

Next up for 1977 in #5albums70sFINAL 55/100. My #1 in #5albums70s2 (ahead of Hunky!). I just love this masterpiece from #JeffLynne et al. Pop splendor. It’s played often! This will almost certainly be in my final top 5 against the deep competition. #ELO #johnsvinyl #nowplaying.

Next up for #5albums70sFINAL 11/100, from 1971. It’s the first serious contender for my top 5 so far. I ranked it 2/5 in #5albums70s2. My wife considers it “a top record of all time”—and I agree. #Bowie #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Discovered this for the first time in the #5albums70s2

superb Ricky 👌🏻

I included Bob Seger's Night Moves in #5albums70s2
I will always love his music!

Listening to the 20 winners from #5albums70s2 now.

Onto the ninth of the 20 and I am pretty sure that the following will make my final 5 here:

The Who - Who's Next: A masterpiece
ELO - Out of the Blue: Sensationally good for a double album

Wish You Were Here will too for sure.

2 more spots.

Thanks again Richard. #5albums70s2
I had all five in the top eight. I did say I’d gone for somewhat conventional picks this time around!

For a double album Out of the Blue is sensationally good.

I have no time for the idea of guilty pleasures and all that guff. If you like it, you like it.

Also Lynne is the only one of the Travelling Wilburys not feted as a legend of the music business, which makes no sense.

#5albums70s2 was so hard I became paralysed and forgot to vote 🙄 For me #5albums70s3 is much more straightforward

I can't believe how much harder this is compared to #5albums70s1 and #5albums70s2 🤯

I count about 20 absolute top favourites. Plus about 15 more maybes...

Sunday evening’s selection:

Vote 4 (so 2nd place) in #5Albums70s2 . Hunky Dory used to be my top Bowie, in the last couple years something changed, and I saw the light. How can you be blacked out on coke and still pull off a masterpiece?
