Listen to their third album, as its real cutting edge for its time. After that the band steered in a very commercial direction of which Breakfast in America is the ultimate conclusion of that sound.

My above band categorization was only a personal one, so..
I personally prefer Supertramp over Styx.
Thats ironic, I just obtained ELO's (Strange Magic) The Best Of ELO album today. I Will be listening to them as well.  |
Cheap Trick-First 5 studio albums plus the live
at the Budokan are a must. Its on these albums that the Trick mix up their in your face rock with their overdriven amps plus combining their melodic prowess. I always liken Cheap Trick on these albums as The Beatles, the Move and the Who all thrown into a liquidizer and out comes Cheap Trick, only that Cheap Trick sound far more instant, heavier and also gimmicky. Their debut album is one of the best ever recorded and it was hard edged for its time, harder than any punk album that came out around the same time 1977-1978.
ELO-Maybe we can exchange notes on ELO probably the most hated band on this forum
