Amos, should I dare to mention other ELO Mr.'s, like "Mr.Radio," "Mr.Night," and "Mr.Kingdom"? EJ, Roy was only in the band for the first album. I don't miss him. Now Jeff Lynne, on the other hand--fans all over the net (including me) call him The Lynnemeister--is great. I don't think he sounds like any of the Beatles at all, and their sound of ELO became less-Beatlesesque as the went on. Jeff Lynne, now as a solo act, does mostly rockabilly--which rules too! I've never heard Leonard play Roll Over Beethoven--but ELO's pretty much rocks like there's no tomorrow. John Lennon actually said "The Electric Light Orchestra is the son of the Beatles." I find no problems with that!
