I'd figured you'd name some half-ass prog metal groups with some name like Creeping Death or Disembodied Corpse.Wink

Most of us do.

But if you haven't heard the first (or third) album, you might be pleasantly surprised if you ever try it.

I think their debut belongs to the top 100 of all time of prog albums >> a crossbetween Gryphon and Beatles >> absolutely essential listening
 
 
On The Third Day is also excellent
 
But I find Eldorado simply too lightweight.
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Has there been a lot of them? I only found one, with the first four albums and Time, missing.

I go for Time, a great comeback after the only ELO record i don't like Discovery.For the rest they are all great(Well ok i don't know Xanadu and the records after Time). I have a live record of their work before Out of the blue and they are live even better then in the studio.

I'm amazed at how much I like ELO myself. Prog or not prog. Although my favorites are album no. 1,2,4 and 9, I think all the the albums of this era are quite good.

I voted for their Barock'n'roll Clown debut, which really is one of the best debuts I've heard. What album of their best and most prog related years is your favorite, and why?
