Time is a work of synth-pop that combines elements from 1950s music, new wave, reggae, rockabilly, the Beatles, Phil Spector and the Shadows. The album signalled a departure from the band's sound by emphasising electronics over its usual orchestra. It is also the band's second concept album, the first being Eldorado in 1974. The music video created for its lead single, "Hold On Tight", was the most expensive made at that point, with a budget of approximately £40,000. Four more singles followed the album's release: "Twilight", "Ticket to the Moon" (backed with "Here Is the News"), "Rain Is Falling" and "The Way Life's Meant to Be".

Time is the ninth studio album by the English rock band Electric Light Orchestra (credited as ELO), released in July 1981 on Jet Records. It is a concept album about a man from the 1980s who is taken to the year 2095, where he is confronted by the dichotomy between technological advancement and a longing for past romance. The record topped the UK Albums Chart for two weeks, though it attracted mixed reviews for its heavy use of synthesizers and stylistic shift away from the orchestral rock of previous ELO albums. It has since gained a cult following, particularly among retrofuturist enthusiasts.

Strange Magic: The Best of Electric Light Orchestra is a compilation album by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), released in 1995 only in the US.
The compilation favours album versions rather than single versions; tracks such as "Rock 'n' Roll Is King", "Shine a Little Love" and "Boy Blue" are longer. The compilation is sequenced chronologically and is drawn from US singles, but missing 3 from Xanadu, with exception of the European hit "Rockaria!" on disc one.

Secret Messages is the tenth studio album by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), released in 1983 on Jet Records. It was the last ELO album with bass guitarist Kelly Groucutt, conductor Louis Clark and a full orchestra, and the last ELO album to be released on the Jet label. It was also the final ELO studio album to become a worldwide top 40 hit upon release.

Secret Messages, as its title suggests, is littered with hidden messages in the form of backmasking, some obvious and others less so. This was Jeff Lynne's second tongue-in-cheek response to allegations of hidden Satanic messages in earlier Electric Light Orchestra LPs by Christian fundamentalists, which led to American congressional hearings in the early 1980s (a similar response had been made by Lynne on the Face the Music album, during the intro to the "Fire on High" track).

Out of the Blue is the seventh studio album by the British rock group Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), released on 24 October 1977 in the United States and four days after in the UK on 28 October. Written and produced by ELO frontman Jeff Lynne, the double album is among the most commercially successful records in the group's history, selling about 10 million copies worldwide by 2007.

Mr. Blue Sky: The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra (also known as Mr. Blue Sky) is a 2012 greatest hits compilation album by Jeff Lynne, consisting of hits by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), released on Frontiers.

Face the Music is the fifth studio album by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). It was released in September 1975 by United Artists Records and on 14 November 1975 in the United Kingdom by Jet Records. The album moves away from the large-scale classical orchestrated sound of the previous album, Eldorado, in favour of more "radio-friendly" pop/rock songs, though the string sections are still very prominent. The new sound proved successful for the group, for Face the Music was the first ELO album to go platinum.

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).

Live recording from 1972 featuring the original line-up of the band

Вскоре после выхода диска Ян, Мик и Джон отбыли заниматься возрождением «Europe», а образовавшиеся вакансии заняли басист Марсель Якоб («Talisman»), ударник Джейми Боргер («Talisman», «Treat») и клавишник Томас Лассар («Crystal Blue»). Вторая пластинка, скромно озаглавленная «II» в композиторском плане мало отличалась от дебюта, однако саунд-продюс сильно подкачал, за что на головы «LAD» обрушилась лавина критики.

Compilation album by Canadian musician Neil Young, released in 1993. It contains thirteen of Young's Geffen era songs between 1982 and 1988, including four tracks that were previously unreleased, and three that are slightly different edits to their original versions.

В таком вот подвешенном состоянии Krokus болтался вплоть до 1995-го, когда состоялся настоящий "реюнион" стародавних участников банды: за микрофон вернулся Сторэйс, гитарами заведовали Фон Арб и Кохлер, и даже Фредди Стэди почтил ударную установку Krokus своим вниманием. Почти классический состав просто обязан был выпустить классический альбом. Хотя на диске с символичным названием "To Rock Or Not To Be" немало заимствований из всё тех же AC/DC ("Flying Through The Night"), по выплеску неслабого заряда энергии и качеству материала, он превосходит "усталые" релизы конца 80-х. Конечно, он также заклиширован и построен на простых риффах и мелодичных голосовых рефренах, но достоин того, чтобы послушать его хотя бы пару раз. Потому, вероятно, штатовские, британские и европейские любители hard rock приняли "To Rock Or Not To Be" благосклонно, чего не было добрых 10 лет.

В конце 2002-го коллектив выпустил рождественский сборник "Tis the Season for Los Straitjackets

В 1980-х годах регулярно гастролировала в Европе. Вышедшая в 1987 году пластинка «Lee Aaron» уже прочно закрепила за исполнительницей звание «Королева металла», после чего она стала считаться ведущей рок-певицей Канады. Альбомы «Bodyrock» (1989) и «Some Girls» (1991) стали в Канаде «платиновыми». В последние годы в её творчестве наметился переход к джазу и блюзу. Десять раз номинировалась на канадскую музыкальную премию «Джуно».
