This is YOUR chance to say what you think was or could be the best line-up....it can contain people who have played on recordings only or been on tour only or both. Basically, anyone that has been an official member. You do not have to justify why you have chosen someone and you do not have to justify why you left someone else out, so dont write reams of justification ie one over another. It could just be a list. So the group could contain people that never played together or met. Its your idea of the best possible line-up. Lastly....dont argue about it if someone else hasnt picked the same line-up as you. Its an individuals perspective. Remember...YOU DO NOT HAVE TO JUSTIFY ANYTHING TO ANYONE....
I will start....
Jeff Lynne Roy Wood Richard Tandy

I'm gonna go against my teenaged ELO septet adoring self and say.....the current band!! They do it all. And they are cool, in a 2015 kinda way. (Zoom band wasn't this cool. I'm looking at you, Rosie.)

You know, as much as I didn't dig the whole Stevie Nicks-wannabe routine and I really didn't like her being up front onstage, I do think Rosie's voice blended perfectly with Jeff's. The harmonies in that lineup were about as perfect as I've ever heard in ELO.

In terms of musically ability the current band is miles ahead of any previous version of the band. Christ, Bev could barely keep time he was so poor.
