All right dude:
I can understand your hesitancy to embrace all that is ELO, after all they
represent some of the excesses of the disco era. BUT, you should really
consider (as everyone should) an evaluation of their sound.
For starters, Jeff Lynne was interested in exploring the possiblities of pop
song structers, song instrumentation, the integration of electronics with
more traditional instruments, and possibilities of studio production. I've
been very inspired by his ability to arrange sounds, instruments and
rhythums in layers where frequencies don't overlap each other, or in doing
so, harmonize in interesting ways. His ability to add lots of flashy
special effect sounds onto and with specific sounds (guitars, lyrics, etc)
was an astonishing feat then and still sounds great today.
Also John Lennon said that they would sound exactly like ElO if they had
stayed togeather... Which is a pretty great compliment.
And besides? If he was such a crappy producer, why would some of the
greatest rock acts have him produce their albums?
Well there's my argument. Convincing?
