    Supertramp vs ELO

    That is today's matchup. Both hugely popular 70's artists with many big hits regularly played on the radio to this day.

    This Poll is sponsored & brought to you by Leaping Larry's Used Stereo shop where the 70's never ended & 8-tracks are still new.

    ELO.

    Not even close.

    David Lee Roth did the impossible. He made Van Halen better. Deal with it!

    Are you fucking kidding....not even close my ass....

    Ever heard of a little album called BREAKFAST IN AMERICA....

    It had numerous big time hits...The Logical Song, Goodbye Stranger, etc, etc,

    When Noel Monk was offered VH a sponsership deal from Sparkomatic for the 1984 tour & VH passed they signed Supertramp. They were huge back in the early 80's. They played Empire Stadium here.

    It's a very close matchup. ELO also hugely prominent back then I think I read one of the most top 40 singles of any artist.

    It could go either way. It's a very even matchup.

    As much as I like ELO, I'd go with Supertramp.

    One is subjective, one is not. If you are more concerned about which band was bigger, there really is no need for the thread.

    I really like them both, but Breakfast In America is an iconic album.

    ELO is fucking awesome, love Jeff Lynne.

    ELO for the win!

    One of my fave tunes, since i was a wee child in the 70's.

    The way they combined cellos and rock, in this really badass way.
    The classical component made everything kinda dark & dramatic.
    Genius!

    Do you think Jeff Lynne liked the Beatles a little bit?
