No it’s not his singing that bothers me, I actually do like some ELO stuff. It is his producing that bothers me. IMO, a good producer brings out the best of talent to create their own distinct sound. It seems Jeff has too heavy of a personal influence on whatever he produces. Though I’ll concede in most cases that is probably why they hired him.
That said, he is an incredible sound engineer. No doubt about that.
Fair enough.
