      @@kev7161 Being, "a highly successful band with a ton of hits" is not a valid counter-argument to the statement, "his vocals are so underrated".
      From my perspective, ELO were well known for their catchy songs and novel approach with the inclusion of string instruments. But I don't recall anyone ever citing Jeff Lynne as being one of the great or even very good vocalists when the subject of "best singers" comes up. So based upon this, I don't think Frank Bianco's statement was necessarily unwarranted. But I might be open to a different counter-argument, if you have one.

    I was born in 1962. This is my favorite group. My generation had never heard anything like this group and I was astounded to hear a sound like this. Now remember back then you only heard it on the radio so you had to listen for hours in hopes that you would hear your favorite songs. I remember changing the radio channels in hopes that I would hear this incredible group. Can you imagine finally catching it but at the very end just as your channel was ending it, just crying and waiting and hoping for hours to hear it again!!! We only had four channels on the radio. Country, 2 pop and one r and b which went off at 6pm. Everyone tells me that I should do a you tube channel on all the 70's music groups and how times were then. I am so excited to see your generation discover them. Back in the days when candy was 2 for a penny, concerts were 5 dollars a ticket ( Im talking the jackson 5, prince, rick james etc), a bag of chips and soda were a quarter, a brand new car was less than $3,000. The sun shined brighter and love was more innocent. One gift I was blessed with is the ability to take a song and be able to put you in a place where you feel like you were there at that time,.

If you were lucky enough to have a quarter, you thought you won the jackpot for that bag of mixed candy!!! I was in highschool when my friends and I found ELO. The talent of a group who can mix so many elements from genre to instruments was unheard of then. Then to call yourself Electric Light Orchestra!!!!!!! Brilliant, simply brilliant. I am going to my Highschool reunion in November back from our Graduating class of 79/80. I hope they play some of these guys.

But even then with BF, it's too contemporaneous with their other projects. There has to be a distance of time to build legendary status. And if we're being honest, the greatest supergroups ought to be considered The Funk Brothers, Wrecking Crew and the A Team.

      @@Hexon66 I used the definition of the term as I've seen it used by music critics and the music press over the last 50 years. What is applicable is where the members of these groups were in a previous group, or were solo artists, that had popular or commercial success. With Beck, Bogert & Appice, for example, Jeff Beck was known for his time with The Yardbirds, while Tim Bogert & Carmn Appice were members of Vanilla Fudge. With Bad Company, Paul Rodgers & Simon Kirke came from the band Free, Mick Ralphs from Mott The Hoople, and Boz Burrell from King Crimson.

    I’ve been a fan since I was in Jr high( 1974). Jeff lynne is now in his early 70s and he still sounds the same. He had such a great backup band with him.

    ELO, SuperTramp, Chicago and I would add Queen to that list and there are certainly other but it is a very small list for sure. But Id like to introduce you to a bad that reminds me very much of them and might even deserve a spot on this list.
    When I first heard this song it reminded me very much of Queen! The band is MUSE, the song is "Knights of Cydonia". I went on to listen to another of their songs "New Born" and it brought tears to my eyes because it reminded me so much of Queen as well. I thought I would never hear newer music that even came close to these legends and I was so happy to have been proven wrong.
    So I really hope you listen to Knights of Cydonia and you love them as much as I do!

Hear them all and find several you like and perhaps one you love. Trust me, there's plenty of ways to blend them, so just listen and enjoy without pigeon-holing them. Oh! And don't forget, I'd still love for you to check out Dire Straits 'Wild West End' for some soft-swung-bluesy-easy listening... Rock, with lyrics that paint a picture you will see when you close your eyes and bring back memories of teens-twenties. :)
