I'm sorry
(That's not a song, that's short for "I'm sorry, I don't like any ELO songs!")

Ya know, for someone who likes the 80's as much as me (especially the very early part, when the decade was still forming -- say 1979-81), I haven't seen that movie or heard any songs from it. :-Balance of Power? I think you'd like that one. I didn't even know it existed 'till recently. I go to used video/music shops (counting Goodwill) quite frequently, and found it, deciding to give it a shot. I'm glad I did 'cause it rocks. 8)
If you're familar with the Traveling Wilbury's (of which Jeff Lynne was part of - along with Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and George Harrison), that's sort of what this CD sounds like, just a little more "hard rock"ish. My two favorite songs actually weren't even hits - "Heaven Only Knows" and "Secret Lives" (love the keyboards in that one).

yet another Xanadu fan, luv the soundtrack and I am more a fan of their earlier 70's music.

I voted for "Hold on Tight", a great song that I haven't heard in a long while...

Well, their heyday was the 70s, but some of their 80s output was good (if a little patchy in places...)
I went for 'Twilight'...
...a very powerful tune which includes a superb drum 'fill' which, if heard at the right volume, could quite easily dislodge the fillings in your teeth...marvellous!
