Roy Wood or Jeff Lynne

   An unfair comparison - both talented people, and actually very similar to each other in the use of those talents. Perhaps the only deciding factor is that Roy Wood was a hero to Jeff Lynne (and to almost every Birmingham musician of that era).

	They were on both 1971 albums by The Move. I really don't know which one of them is responsible to what in those albums.

	Without hesitation: Roy Wood - far more inventive and creative.
	What?

	Both share the duties on the last album by The Move and the first album by Electric Light Orchestra. I find Roy Wood a true progressive rock pioneer. Jeff Lynne on the other hand is far less original, but wrote some of the best rock - pop tunes in the 1970's.
