Love the reggae-prog! The ELO track is not one of my faves. ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |

I wouldn't call either prog and I am not fond of these two songs, but I think Dreadlock Holiday is the better of these two. -------------

Dreadlock Holiday is funny, clever and sounds great. The ELO track is good but not one of their very best. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

ELO!! Kinda indifferent to that 10cc track, but I've always loved that ELO hit. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

ELO should win any poll against 10CC IMO. Very few 10CC songs match the musical genius of Jeff Lynne IMO. ------------- A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!! |

I generally respect your opinion but that is a load of nonsense quite frankly

Dreadlock Holiday. 10cc produced a load of great singles (and albums) but this was a step down, an insipid bit of cod reggae. It was a huge hit though, so I suppose you can't argue with that. Jeff Lynn's biggest musical crime was the Travelling Wilburys production sound that he even inflicted on the Beatles.
Edit: Oops, just noticed I didn't read this properly and thought it was about which track was the worst, hence my vote for Dreadlock Holiday which I don't like. Note to self: do try to keep up Cactus! ------------- "And now...on the drums...Mick Underwooooooooood!!!" "He's up the pub" |

the former i've never heard, but the latter yes and i really actually like it, so that one definitely gets my vote. ------------- Progrockdude |

wow really??! I remember it being played in the sixth form common room when it came out. I guess you are a bit younger than me?

| Thanks, irrelevant. And as bad as Dreadlock' may be, it still was a nod towards 10cc's versatility and talent. |

I think this poll just brought me down. Just kidding, I'll go with ELO for the cheese factor.  ------------- This message was brought to you by a proud supporter of the Deep State. |

Well..imo they are both kind of cheesy but I like the early ELO albums better than the early 10CC ones. The later ones are mediocre by both bands. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

ELO by a mile. Cod reggae is inexcusable. Legit reggae is bad enough... ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

10cc, Dreadlock Holiday.------------- When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night. |
