I had no idea that ELO was considered a bad band around here. They were the first band i loved, i had a "best of" that i used to play air-guitar to and sing these lyrics that i had no idea what they meant. Great stuff. EXPECIALLY the poppy, cheesier songs.

I like Meat Loaf too!
Though i think i'll have to do some further studies on ELO if i'm gonna impress one of the "three horsemen" or whatever you call yourselves, i don't think a compilation gives me the right to call them a closet skeleton, double-disc or not. (Maybe a pelvis and a leg, though). :)
If i'm going to try coming up with my own guilty pleasure, hmm.. on a Prog board, i guess a fan of Bob Dylan might raise a few eyebrows, but he still has several albums on the rollings stones top albums of all times, so it's pretty easy to defend, in that way..

Also, Meat Loaf's (loaves? haha..) "i'd do anything for love" is 13 minutes, i think he should be added under "symphonic". Wohoo! I have to start a poll!  (Not really, i'm just kidding, you know..)

I should definitely introduce you to my dear, Ratt-loving symphonic partner in crime... He's an ELO freak! But then, all three of us have our own skeletons to hide... Me with Soft Cell and Frankie Goes to Hollywood (I absolutely LOVE "Welcome to the Pleasure Dome"!), Ivan with BTO and Meat Loaf, and Micky with heaven knows how many other unspeakable bands and artists besides Ratt and ELO...

hahah... just saw this my Rush-fanatic of a partner....  but have to say...

I gentleman knows when to keep his mouth closed... it would be the end of what little respect anyone has for me to know that ...hypothetically.. that I saw New Kids on the Block and George Michael within a couple of months..  if something similar to that came out of my closet... I'd never be able to show my face here at PA's again.  So...  mum's the word

Don't worry, Evans, we all have our own crosses to bear... 

Yeah, i guess. My first CD was by a swedish guy pretending to be indian and making disco-techno music with lyrics like:
"I am a party aranger everytime I
Gotta party it's a real danger
They wasting the place into my face
I gotta pump up the volume with a high bass

Indy-indy style
This is the way we party".
I'd throw it away, but since it's my "first", it's kinda fun to have it there, mingling with the likes of Magma and Hatfield and the north. :)

Ratt are an Eighties hair-metal band from LA, who used to be very popular at the time. I hated them, but it seems somebody else from the Symphonic Prog Team loved them to bits.
