Most of the arguments over ELO, seem to lie with their later stuff. From A New World Record onwards ELO aimed at an American market which would be very profitable for Jeff Lynne and co. However...to enjoy their proggier stuff you need to go abck to their earlier albums not sit and judge the 80's stuff, which was pure commercialism. If ELO are not welcome here, why are other dodgy prog related band allowed? At least ELO were proggi-ish once.

hahahah... nice of you to drop in,  some people have set ideas of what prog is and is not.  Some are more open minded.  This thread is probably best left to die.  Some people feel strongly about it... on both sides of the argument.
