Ratings key: 
10 - One of your very favorite artists of all time.
9 - Killer fucking band.  Or artist.
8 - Great sound, great songs, great albums.
7 - Very good, but not quite great.
6 - Pretty good.  More than a few songs you like.  You'd entertain the thought of seeing them live if they were in the area.  Or still alive.
5 - They're okay, but maybe not something you'll go out of your way to listen to.
4 - Meh.  There may be a song or two, or an album that you dig, but you'd rather listen to other stuff.
3 - Not very good.  You will more likely than not turn the station if they come on the radio.
2 - Not your cup of tea at all.  Some people like this, but you are not one of them.
1 - Horrible in every way.
0 - In the running for worst artist/musician of all time.  You would rather take a cheese grater to your face than listen to this.

This is one of the bands that I'm always forgetting about, but they have so many killer songs. Strange Magic, Do Ya, Evil Woman... Telephone Line and Mr Blue Sky sounds like they should be Beatles songs.

10. My favorite band from my dad's record collection when I was a kid. Still enjoy their albums today.

I got to see Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in the theater with my dad. Dairy Queen from childhood era + opening fight scene with ELO playing. What a nostalgia rush!

8/10 good sound and production. not my favorite lyrically but the lyrics are just light fun. I a little disappointed that Twilight isn't in the mix of videos. so here.

If you have any GBA signage or kiosk I would be interested. Please send me a PM because I'm only here about once a month now but I'm still VERY interested in large system signage or small playable kiosks related to the GBA.

I have a very early memory of listening to 'Evil Woman' on an 8-track compilation belonging to my dad. Love many of their songs. Solid 7 for me.

Oh yes! Love ELO. Out of the Blue is a great album. I've been hooked on the track "Sweet is the Night" recently. So many great songs they've done. Love their sound and harmonies. Check out the Xanadu soundtrack. No joke! Some great work they've done on there!!

According to the option description, 5/10. Music is actually pretty good and something I don't mind hearing, but not something I would add to my playlist or want to see live.

8/10 Hit after Hit

Just classic

Thank you brock for finally putting something worth a damn.

These tracks bring me back to road trips and mornings driving to school with my dad

ELO is still enjoyable since their stuff isnt overplayed like other classic groups.

Jeff Lynne is a genius. The fifth Beatle. Can still make a modern 2010's ELO recording sound like a 1974 recording. This band has so much to offer, including the most "Feel Good" song of all time, Mr. Blue Sky. And that's scientifically backed-up, too: https://shareably.net/happiest-so...

10/10 Absolutely love ELO. I agree with Lonsta, Jeff Lynne is a genius. I had the pleasure of being able to see him this past june. He had Dhani Harrison open up for him, which was pretty awesome. Even brought him out to sing his dads part on a Traveling Wilburys song.

My favorite song of ELO is The Diary of Horace Wimp, if you havent heard it, you should definitely give it a listen.

So are the 2's being rejected as well so you can tailor your results even more to align with your bias? Funny how you drop one scoring set because of reason and not the others. Not everyone wants to join the discussion.

FWIW, Idk who voted 0, but you're such a baby about this lol

They're good, a lot of toe-tappers. Alex would give them a 10 for sure - she's taken me to a few concerts, and they've never disappointed. Based on the criteria, I went with 8.

Remember those times you wouldn't stop PMing me shit in Werewolf? Flagrantly trying to affect/ruin the game?

My point is you obviously don't care much for rules or authority. If you don't like the format then I don't know what to to tell you. Other than "too bad"

Because I’m calling you out on how ridiculous you are with your stipulations? 

“Hey don’t vote unless you vote the way I want you to! Oh I’ll just not count it” hahaha please



And when did i send all those PM’s? Sounds like you just hate folks pointing out legit things to you. 

Also, no idea what’s wrong with contesting rules and authority when silly shit is made up because you can’t deal with opposing opinions. 

You look like someone who cant handle someone that challenges only you.

I don't give a shit what anybody says, the actual lyrics are "Don't bring me down, Bruce", and Bruce is a fucking asshole.
