I was just thinking about ELO and how "proggy" I think they were back in the day. Discovery went pop in my mind, even though I enjoy their music. I thought it was very cool and "progressive" how Jeff Lynn brought in that classical theme to rock music. Isn't that a ProgRock feature to use classical and jazz and meld that into song structure, part of the definition of prog?? (IDK??)
 
To this day I still enjoy spinning Out of the Blue and Olé ELO. I think they are a low-end prog band with classical influences....heh    Ermm

NoNononono. Electric Light Orchestra and Chicago are Outstanding multi-piece bands in Concert. They have sold Hundreds Of Millions of records all over the world. We dont compare them around here

Got to go with Chicago. 3 excellent vocalists, horn section, many writers and styles.  And if you wait for it, Terry Kath could rip it up when he was given the chance. 
After Kath passed away (way too soon) I saw Chicago twice in concert in the early 70s and both remain the lousiest shows I ever saw, dim, cheap, lightweight and crass (barely playing 40 minutes both times).
Seraphine is fine drummer though but Lamm and Cetera (ugh!!!) 
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.
