В 1979 вышел мультиплатиновый альбом «Discovery». Самый известный хит на этом альбоме была рок-композиция «Don’t Bring Me Down». Альбом критиковали за его диско-мотивы. На этом альбоме были такие хиты, как «Shine A Little Love», «Last Train to London», «Confusion» и «The Diary of Horace Wimp». Видео к Discovery — последнее, где можно увидеть группу в своём классическом составе. Лицом обложки альбома стал 19-летний никому ещё тогда неизвестный Брэд Гарретт, позднее ставший знаменитым актёром-комиком и телепродюсером

После альбома "Время" создать ребятам что-либо подобное конечно было тяжело, поэтому этот опус не получился таким же воздушным, как его предшественник. Здесь Оркестр Электрического Света представил нам песни даже более интеллектуального характера, чем на "Time", некоторые стали посложнее в текстовом плане, некоторые в музыкальном, но факт есть факт: этот альбом лондонцев воспринимается тяжелее, чем их предыдущие работы. Тем не менее, на диске полно запоминающихся песен, как всегда, с прекрасными и разнообразными аранжировками, многоголосьем её участников, кстати, именно то, что каждая песня исполнена сразу несколькими вокалистами, делает музыку ELO такой насыщенной и богатой. Отличный альбом, но уже не шедевр, как "Discovery" или "Time". Лучшие вещи на альбоме, пожалуй, это "Secret Messages", "Rock'n'Roll Is King" и "On And On". Рекомендую ценителям арт-рока.

From Out of Nowhere is the fourteenth studio album by British rock band Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), and the second credited to Jeff Lynne's ELO. The band's first studio album in four years, it was released on 1 November 2019 through Big Trilby and Columbia Records. The title track was released as the lead single on 26 September 2019. Lynne played most instruments on the album.

All Over the World: The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra is a compilation album by the Electric Light Orchestra, released in 2005. Originally released exclusively in the band's home market (the UK), the album sold very well, becoming the ELO's first Top Ten entry since Dino Record's compilation album The Very Best of the Electric Light Orchestra hit number 4 in 1994. All Over the World sold over 300,000 copies in the UK alone within a year and a half of its release. The albums The Electric Light Orchestra, ELO 2, Eldorado, and Balance of Power were not represented on the compilation.

Jeff Lynne told Rolling Stone magazine that the idea came from him listening to the original Electric Light Orchestra recordings, and thinking that he could produce a better result having since had a long career as a record producer. Lynne decided to re-record a number of songs from scratch, and began with "Mr. Blue Sky". He told Rolling Stone: "I enjoyed doing that a lot, and when I listened back to it and compared it to the old one, I really liked it much better." It was suggested by his manager that Lynne record a few more versions of Electric Light Orchestra songs, the results being recordings of "Evil Woman" and "Strange Magic". Lynne also liked these versions, so he continued by producing a full album of re-recordings.

Balance of Power was the last studio album by the Electric Light Orchestra before their initial disbanding (the band would later reform in 2000 and again in 2014). By this time Kelly Groucutt had departed and the group was pared down to a trio of Jeff Lynne (who doubled on bass as a result of Groucutt's absence), Richard Tandy, and Bev Bevan. Recording for the album began in mid of 1984, with a planned release for Spring 1985. The addition of several synthesizer tracks and mixing work by Reinhold Mack to the album caused its release to be pushed back to early 1986. ELO played some live concerts in the UK and Europe (their last for fifteen years), and for one UK show George Harrison performed as guest guitarist.

Discovery was the band's first number 1 album in the UK, entering the chart at that position and staying there for five weeks. The album contained five hit songs in "Shine a Little Love", "Don't Bring Me Down", "Last Train to London", "Confusion" and "The Diary of Horace Wimp", many of which were heavily influenced by disco (in fact, Richard Tandy nicknamed the album, Disco Very). "Don't Bring Me Down" would become one of their only two top three hits in the UK throughout their career ("Xanadu" would be number one in 1980), and also their highest-charting US single at number 4. "The Diary of Horace Wimp" was also a hit single in the UK, not patterned after the disco sound; instead it was closer in its Beatlesque style to the band's earlier hit "Mr. Blue Sky". The album itself was the first ever to generate four top-ten singles (one of which was a Double A-side) from a single LP in the UK and was eventually certified 2x platinum by the RIAA in 1997.

ELO's Greatest Hits is a compilation by the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), released in 1979.
The album sleeve art features a letter written by the band's co-founder and leader, Jeff Lynne, describing the '73–'78 period and the recording of each of the songs.

Time - студийный концептуальный альбом группы Electric Light Orchestra, вышедший в 1981 году и ставший шестым из самых популярных альбомов того года.

On the Third Day is the third studio album by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), and the first to be recorded without input from Roy Wood.

Olé ELO is the second compilation album by the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) covering their early years. Released in 1976, this LP was originally compiled by United Artists Records as a promotional album for American radio stations, but when copies of the LP started selling to fans "underground" United Artists decided to release it in the US to capitalize on the band's growing popularity.

The Electric Light Orchestra is the debut studio album by English rock band Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), released in December 1971. In the US, the album was released in early 1972 as No Answer, after a misunderstood telephone message made by a United Artists Records executive asking about the album name. The caller, having failed to reach the ELO contact, wrote down "no answer" in his notes, and this was misconstrued to be the name of the album.
