If ELO-Olivia's 'Xanadu' is not one of the greatest songs of the 1980s...

[Enraged_Ape]

then I am a Ranger in the Bush 2004 Presidential campaign.

I just re-listened to this song tonight. It is simply sublime. Prove me wrong.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

1. Man, what are you smoking? I want some too.

I guess you did not live through the assault on the ears that song made with it's constant airplay.

Now it's in my head again.

[Enraged_Ape]

2. Xanadu. Xanadooo-ooo-ooo...

Now we are here...in Xanadu...

Sweet dreams.

[Pale Blue Dot]

3. Actually, "Magic" still gets to me

And that good music in the service of a truly crappy film.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

4. I was 14. I fell in love with ONJ.

You did too. Admit it. :loveya:

[Enraged_Ape]

5. I did. She still haunts me.

And she's still beautiful.

[moof]

6. Great song, Great movie & if you don't like it bite some roller skates

[Sir Craig]

7. Had the privilege to see her perform recently...

She was doing a benefit concert for breast cancer research, and she sang all her songs from the Xanadu soundtrack, and her voice is still awesome.

And when she smiled, I felt like I was 15 again -- huge crush on her.

on edit: I really need to learn how to spell "perform"

[Enraged_Ape]

8. Yes, she still has that effect on people

(Sighhhhh...)

[arwalden]

9. I Like The "Mount Olympus Remix" Version With Paula Doing

add-on vocals behind Olivia's original tracks. Very well done.

10. Haven't heard this one

But I'll be on the lookout for it.

I didn't think there was a way to improve this song. It is one of Jeff Lynne's finest masterworks.
