I love this. Being a huge ELO/Jeff Lynne fan, I can agree with it.

excellent but i'd propose the little guy on the left might be closer to Roy Rogers (maybe the Monkees but the time slot is wrong) than Beet-man

My two favorite musicians have always been Terry and Jeff. Since I've met Terry many times, I am looking into running into Jeff at some point. He's getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame next year, and I am thinking about going to see this. Maybe I'll get my chance!

So did you get to meet him finally?

No, didn't go to the Walk of Fame ceremony. Almost spent the money to go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction, but I decided against that, too. Either i'm too indecisive or too cheap. Don't know which.

I'm a BIG ELO fan too, so I'm not at all sure DA would head up ELO (I know, boo-hiss, and on a DA board to boot!) but I contend it's apples-to-oranges as ELO and DA occupy different spots in my mind.

exactly!! , DA is my favorite Christian band... but I would never compare non-Christian music with Christian music. Though I see this picture as some sort of joke. Music has many genres: classical, rock, pop, etc..........
To put Beethoven as a monkey is a joke, can we say a genius was a monkey; NO. classical music is just another genre totally different from pop, rock, etc.
To say ELO is a better and a more refine "beatles", that is plain absurd as the Beatles will be the greatest band in history and eventhough ELO is pretty good, ELO will never be better than the Beatles. ELO is a band similar but has its difference (opera, etc). DA on the other hand is a more alternative band, but in horrendous D. you can really see the ELO Beatlesque influences. Even on DHSTA you can see beatles and beach boys influence. Why would bands go back to pre-historic bands if they are already more evolved and better? I think they would create instead of copying.
As WoaaahJelly says for me DA is apples(Christian music) and the others are oranges(non-Christian). I would not like to compare them. It is very difficult to say that the beatles was a pre-historic band and that ELO and DA are much better and refine!! cause it isn't true. Just my 2 cents.

Weird, always liked ELO too, although love DA waay better. Kinda fun with that rockopera whatever thing going... especially in (hiding head) Xanadu. Yeah, maybe kind of cheesy movie, but the rollar skating coreography (oh dear spelling
) was out of this world!
