I can maybe see after the first two albums, especially around the Mid-70's, although I would say that Jeff Lynne did develop quite a talent with his studio production techniques, but I have to give the first two albums more than that. At least they could be for the very early days with Roy Wood ...
"I Am the Walrus"
+ The better parts of the second side of the original Yellow Submarine soundtrack
+ "King Midas in Reverse"
+ "Eleanor Rigby" (esp. on "Look at Me Now")
+ "The Last Thing I Remember" by The Turtles (as The Atomic Enchilada - love the Battle of the Bands album)
+ (Throw in Baroque Composer of your choice)
- John Lennon's edgy wit
