==Legacy and influence==
According to music journalist [[Simon Price]], ELO is {{Blockquote|arguably the most uncool, even defiantly anti-cool, of the lot and have been the slowest to be rehabilitated since&nbsp;... They've been sampled by dozens upon dozens of acts, from [[Company Flow]] to [[the Pussycat Dolls]], if you go looking. Every now and then in my journalistic career, it's been possible to coax a contemporary band to admit to an ELO influence; [[the Flaming Lips]] and [[Super Furry Animals]] being two examples. But the band in whom I perceive the greatest amount of ELO DNA are outside the rock genre altogether: [[Daft Punk]]."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Price|first1=Simon|author-link1=Simon Price|title=The Jesus of Uncool Is Risen: ELO Live, By Simon Price|url=http://thequietus.com/articles/16261-elo-live-review|work=[[The Quietus]]|date=16 September 2014|access-date=23 August 2019|archive-url=https://archive.today/20211030003026/https://thequietus.com/articles/16261-elo-live-review|archive-date=30 October 2021|url-status=live}}</ref>}}
