treeduck Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I've been listening to ELO over the last few weeks and me and ELO are not a good mixture. I don't like any album I've heard so far by them. I don't like the vocals, I don't like the orchestrations, I don't like the songs. I find it annoying to the point of outright anger. In light of this you can tell where my vote is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Don't get me wrong, I like ELO - Jeff Lynne is a very talented musician, but Return To Forever are in a different league musically. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 RTF x 2. Thought ELO was OK, but their brand diminished significantly imho when allegations of doing tapeshow "live" concerts surfaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom55 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 ELO. Their music was in heavy rotation on my dorm floor during my college years ( 73-77 ) and A New World Record was the last album I bought from them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn't you get Out Of The Blue? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyta Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) Don't think this is a fair comparison, I happen to like both bands very much. Return to Forever was one of the first bands that introduced me to fusion and they are fantastic. I also like Jean Luc-Ponty and Chick Corea played with him as well. I have listened to Romantic Warrior a lot since Chick's death this year. ELO is more of a melding of elements of classical music with rock, it is a very pleasing mix and I love Out of Blue since that was the first album of theirs I heard. They have been a staple in my traveling music for years. I guess RTF's musicianship is far more advanced but just can't vote :huh: Edited August 22, 2021 by Rhyta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
