2011 - ELO - The Very Best Of (British TV ad)

[TrekkiELO]

It reminds me of all those smaller saucers flying around until their mothership arrives in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" from 1977...

 

[Nololob]

Hum... I've got all of their albums... well, almost all... so there's no point of buying greatest hits album, but still cool ad. "One of the greatest bands of all time."

JFC... ANOTHER "best of" for this band? They must have 20+ compliations already and I don't think they've put out any new material since the 80's have they?

According to Rate Your Music website - 35 since 1986.

I love the spaceship theme, and the concert stage ELO used decades ago, but I am not interested in another greatest hits package either.

So in otherwords, Jeff Lynne is milking this cow WAY past her prime.

The Who has 22 and ELO has 20. I'm not sure if the new one is included in my source, but even if it is, they lose..lol

Nolo posted 35 ELO greatest hits albums...

These are the ones listed in Wikipedia as compilations. I did other searches but these are all I found. Hard to imagine there's almost double this amount.
