Mapman, there's nothing coincidental about you mentioning ELO and The Beatles in the same post. I seem to recall a Rolling Stone interview with Jeff Lynne (of ELO), in which he professed his great love and admiration for The Beatles and that his vision for ELO was to pick up where the Beatles left off. At the time I thought that was a bit arrogant, but I definitely hear Beatles' DNA in ELO's music. Full disclosure, I'm a life long ELO fan.
