Electric Light Orchestra – Discovery (LP Vinyl)

Jeff Lynne leaned further into the disco era with Discovery than anywhere else in ELO's catalog, a move that divided longtime fans but produced some of the band's most purely infectious pop. The album hit number one in the UK and became a commercial peak for a group that had spent the decade bridging orchestral rock and radio gloss, and it still sounds like a snapshot of a particular moment when those two worlds finally, completely merged.
