What do we think of ELO, do we like them?

Sure, why not? I like 'em and have several of their CDs.

On the other hand, to the ears of this relatively casual fan, they were at their best on their singles/hits; and, compared to other bands that covered similar territory (proggy orchestral power-poppish rock), their albums (with the exception of El Dorado) don’t hang together as well.
