Following a suggestion by eloneen I will run a poll to find the best photo of ELO together as a band. There will be ten rounds, semi finals and a grand final. Each of the first ten rounds will features pictures from a particular era, these being 1970-1974, 1975-1979, 1980-1986 and 1986 onwards. Some pictures are hard to exactly age so if I have put one into the wrong section then so be it Round one gives us these masterpieces, vote for your favourite number above.

Wow! I've never seen a photo of the band with Roy. That got my vote I'm not sure if that is ELO or The Move but don't tell anyone I think I'll get away with it

Oh my, so many thoughts... Image #1 - Horacewimp this is not ELO but you can get away with it of course!! With my blessings as it is a very fine photo indeed. My superior Jeffy sense has alerted me to the fact that this photo was taken at the same time as this one: I'll add that also Baby Jeff looks like an adorable little baby - but ALAS I cannot vote for this photo. Image #2 - Meh Image #3 - Very Nice Image #4 - Iconic! Everyone looks great. Love Mike D's pose and Mike Edwards (RIP) in his awesome penguin suit. But what the 'ell happened to Bev? Has he been ravaged by fans? Image #5 - Everyone looks great and I love the low angle view! Number 4 gets my vote!

I like #4, too, but #2 is in color and they look a bit happier there. Maybe it's the pink and red that make the difference? However, #3 would be my favorite.

#3 for me. The fire makes them look badass.

1 - not my favourite style period for Jeff but Roy looks cool and, ooh, there's dear old Rick! 2 - colourful 3 - ah, from one of my favourite ELO periods but it's lacking a certain something. 4 - this is more like it. This is one of the iconic pictures. 5 - Nelson's Column's looking nice but where's the rest of the band?
My vote goes to number 4.

Had a hard job choosing between #3 and #4.
But I will go for #3 because it's in colour and they look even nicer. (Even with only half of Bev and a hidden Richard).
#2 is quite nice as well though.

Number 3 simply because it's the classic line up (and the fact that Hughie drowns in dry ice....)

1. Jeff simply adorkable with his accountant's moustache and daft hat, Roy's trouser appendage hilariously suggestive. 2. They all look extremely "fragile", bet those coloured outfits were giving them headaches after probably a boozy night before. First time I've ever seen Mik with anything like a beer belly too. 3. Has to be my favourite, it's Jeff's best look for me (a bit fat and boggy-eyed with fantastic Hair), and who can resist Hughie's innocent, trusting face just before he is totally swamped in dry ice? Not me. 4. Absolute classic and very arty in black and white. Love grinning Mike Edwards, suave Mik in his opera cape and Jeff just all over especially the eyeliner *swoons* Very close second for me, only spoiled by Bev's inexplicable too-small coat. 5. Interesting angle up Jeff's crotch but where are the rest of the band? And where's the front of Bev's bass drum? Hate those specs of Jeff's too, definitely no.
*votes 3*

unomusette Maybe in #4 Bev was moonlighting as a romance novel cover model and had to dash off to that photo shoot after this one?

Hmm, but isn't it the heroines who have their bodices ripped?
