I've enjoyed the 2 ELO shows I've seen over the last few years and his backing band, the actual Take That band minus the singers, have been an excellent fit. I love that he includes a non-ELO song, 'Handle with Care', in his set

It has it's place but on every song, I think he ruined the Beatles "new" songs Free As a Bird and Real Love from the Anthology series, they sounded like ELO songs.
Enormously talented guy but sometimes you want to say enough is enough, it's like wow this is great chilli sauce but I didn't want it on my ice cream as well.
Time.
In my opinion possibly the greatest concept album ever made, and amazingly un-dated given that it was made forty years ago and is about the future.
I’m also quite sure that an important part of Blade Runner 2049 is based on it...

2. The ‘slack’ drum sound on his post 80s work, which to me sound like a too long elastic band looped over an empty show box.
It's interesting that he was obviously very influenced by the Beatles, but when he got to (sort of) work with them, and with Harrison, he made them sound like ELO.
I was a big ELO fan for a few years, they were the first band I really got into before discovering heavier rock music. But I went off them when Discovery came out and I learned that all the cellists etc weren't actually on the record, it was all synthesisers.
He's a talented chap though, undoubtedly.
