I strongly recommend every ELO album through and including Discovery. They touch on different styles and sounds, but Jeff Lynne is a great songwriter with an impeccable pop sense. My favorite may well be No Answer because it has the perfect balance of pop and prog for me. ELO II is a bit more proggy than I like my pop, but Kuiama is starkly beautiful and moving. On the Third Day is kinda White Albumy, Eldorado is the pop symphony, Face the Music is more of a straightforward rock record. I think New World Record and Out of the Blue are pretty much the ultimate 70's pop/rock records, radio friendly but sophisticated. And Discovery ("Disco Very") may have too many Top 40 sounding moments for a lot of people, but I love all of those songs. (Except for Horace Wimp, which I find lyrically banal.)
So if you haven't heard these yet, you should!

/"...it's a lonesome thing to be passing small towns with the lights
shining sideways when the night is down, or going in strange places
with a dog nosing before you and a dog nosing behind, or drawn to
the cities where you'd hear a voice kissing and talking deep love in
every shadow of the ditch, and you passing on with an empty, hungry
stomach failing from your heart." - John Millington Synge /

There are two bands that I rediscovered, took more seriously, listened to again, and explored deep catalog cuts due to Audities.
Before Audities, I thought the Beach Boys were a novelty band..(yep)..and I never knew much about ELO (except the hits).
I was recently in the US and I realized that the first few ELO albums had been reissued. I always had trouble finding these for some reason but I finally was able to get a hold of them and my overall verdict is..I have been really missing out...I am really enjoying No Answer and ELO II.
Thanks Audities

Third Day is a good one. Nice compact songs, with out the big orchestra
added. On No Not Susan, Blue Bird Is Dead, and King Of The Universe are
fab tunes.
