Trick of the Tail Vs. Wind & Wuthering

While I don't find them to be similar pieces, YOSW and the track AToTT are similarly the most accessible tunes on their respective albums, and I'm surprised that one gets so much more hate than the other. Sure, YOSW is "sappier," one could say, but they are both pretty easy-going pop rock tracks. And YOSW actually has some more interesting and unexpected chord progression choices, particularly in the middle section. It just seems like the chorus is what turns away the proggers.

Even though there are many songs I like a lot on both albums, in Trick it is mostly poppier songs to my ears, while the songs I like from Wind and Wuthering are proggier I much prefer the much poppier ELO Time to the much proggier ELO 2 - and do not take such things into consideration. Maybe that's why? (I voted that I like them equally though)

Yes, of course. The thing for me is that those songs on Wind and Wuthering are not only proggier, but I like them better... yet, it's my own taste, of course.
