Really? Which one? Cause they use more than 4 different vocalists per album... TongueWink
 
 
 
Yes, indeed.
 
I love John Miles to bits and his contribution was stellar!

10cc made several brilliant, witty art rock albums which elevate them above the others.

The first 2 ELO albums are great!
10cc has its moments!
APP; just was listening to ''Silence and I''  and ''old and wise'' from EYE IN THE sky album; 2 great melodious songs, i don't know if this is prog, but they're darn good.
 
So APP for today      but the ELO 2 album is my fave from these bands

ELO by a MILE....   highly underrated here...  5 prog albums and they are in PR... go figure.  Aim to have that changed. Wink

I never found these bands even remotely similar
 
ELO's first gigs were 100% prog, and I can atest that they were absolutely brilliant live at that time - their first two albums never quite lived up to that and everything after was just awful americanised radio-pop drivel.
 
APP I never got and still do not understand the admiration they attract. It was all too safe, AOR and flat - they sounded old before their time.
 
10CC were (to be brutally honest) just bubblegum-pop but, like Queen, they had four outstanding song writers who were all capable of penning hit tunes. However, I rate them because they put such quirky art-rock b-sides out on their singles.
What?

Alan Parsons. In their best prog moments, they were as good as the best. I particularly love the way Eric Wolfson sang those sweet, mysterious ballads, like "Alone in Paradise", "Time" or "Old and Wise". My favorite albums are "Pyramania", "Tales of Mystery and Imagination", "The Turn of a Friendly Card" and "Eye in the Sky".  I don't like anything from "Ammonia Avenue" and on.
I like Tormato, so shoot me! Every person in the world can't think the same.

ELO have their moments. The first two APP albums are the ones to get. I can't comment on 10CC. I don't think APP and ELO are similiar at all. Eye in the sky is not prog. It is pure pop. Tales is their prog masterpiece....

I vote for Alan Parsons Project. But only because "Eye In The Sky" is the first Prog album that I've listen to in my life (when I was 4 years old!!!)


Just to let you know that it should be reasons instead of motives.

I also vote for APP because I like it better than the other 2 bands.
