I'll go ELP... but I'm very fond of ELO's first 4 albums

Can't really choose, so voted both.
On a side note, ELO's 'A New World Record' and ELP's 'Pictures at an Exhibition' are both in my top 20 favourite albums of all time. |

 -Anyway, I love the greatest pop orchestra of the 1970's (who peaked in 1981 - with Time). ELP represent many of the things I do not care for in prog rock. |

Maybe not many bands did do something like Tarkus or Brain Salad though. |

ELO were on fire from El Dorado to Time, more or less, but they never did something like Tarkus or Brain Salad.
ELP. |

I kind of thought that since this is a prog site ELP would run away with it but so far that hasn't been the case since ELP are ahead by only a small margin.

ELP every day, all day. After their first 4, ELO were strictly pop merchants. Anything afterward I turn off. Except for maybe "Fire on High". But that's it.

I've only started to get into ELO in the past year or so so no vote from me. I try to be fair with things.

ELP. Not a fan of ELO.
I don't doubt that for a second. |

I like ELP, more. I guess ELO are ok, but just that.
Btw, in '75, ELO were on a US tour with Triumvirat opening things, and Triumvirat were sometimes "stealing the show" from ELO, which was one of the reasons they got booted from the tour.... |

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

With ten albums owned by ELO against two albums by ELP, it's gotta be ELO.

To me, ELO is nothing good or interesting, and definitely not serious Prog, if any. Edited by David_D - July 21 2025 at 17:16 |

quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

Have to go with ELO also. They might not have the prog chops of ELP, but they had a longer stretch of enjoyable albums.
