Dude, ELO is such a great fucking band.

I feel like their diversity was off the charts, usually you can instantly recognize a band in the first couple seconds of the song, but with ELO I feel like sometimes they were chameleons. That was probably part of their selling point, I will admit I don't know much about them.

They have so many hit songs where someone has heard it their entire life, and one day they're like "wait... that's ELO?".  
Also off the charts: Jeff Lynne's production values.

I think a modern iteration of that might be Cage the Elephant. Like ELO, they have that "one song" that everyone knows is them ("Don't Bring Me Down" - ELO, and "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked" - Cage), but there are like five others that you will recognize and be like "oh shit..."

Yup, I had this exact experience with someone the other day, I was flabbergasted they didn't know but at the same time they prolly could have thrown out a song at me that I didn't even know was ELO! Lol, so that is definitely the beauty of it.

Little River Band is kinda sorta like that too, but I think it's a way less strong case of it.
