Not a fan of ELO outside of a couple songs. ELO has this.....sound....to their music that I don't like. I can only describe it as the ELO sound. I've tried the early stuff and while far more intriguing then their later music still doesn't connect with me.


I feel pretty meh about ELO.  Admittedly, I have never gone beyond Eldorado but the meh-ness didn't particularly enthuse me and I didn't feel like investigating their other stuff. 
meh-ness

In terms of sheer musicianship and talent, SD any day. ELO has a bit too much pop in their discography for me to really hold a candle to SD.

ELO no doubt 


pfff...  get your ass up here to the states and see me.. and I'll show you how boring the Dan is as you and me paint the town red with the Dan blasting from the death machines killer sound system.

trust me.. you'll gain a new appreciation of them LOL

anyhow.. perhaps the hardest vote of all of them so far.  I really do love me some ELO and have an emotional and nostalic attachment to them that the Dan, while they were the first group whom I bought an album of (god bless good ol' Columbia House) but even before Aja..  I was moved by my mothers ELO 8-tracks haha..

if there was one group that lead me to prog so many years later.. it was that group.. and if there was one song..  it was this one





still though..  nothing really tops the Dan when it comes to the objective qualities..  no band really tops their decade plus of sustained brilliance and a talent for songwriting and ear for melody that tops even the formidable talents of Jeff Lynne.
