It's the likes of ELP that gave us the punk movement, wasn't rock and roll

Bands like ELP, Yes, Pink Floyd, etc, showed Rock could be serious music. Punks showed that it doesn't have to be.

The Who may have influenced punk but the Sex Pistols were the first well known Punk act. Then it morphed into that God awful New Wave shit which wasn't as bad as Disco and it did spin off the New Wave Hookers video Series so I guess it had some redeeming value.

Meh that was a one off. The Punk Rock genre wasn't really didn't come together until the mid 70's. The Who simply didn't fit that genre. They were far to good a musicians.

I don't know about that. What I do know for sure is that the Trinity are punks.

The dead were alright live as they did mainly other people's material.
ELP were talented and innovative.

I lived in Parkstone, Poole in Dorset a few streets down from where Greg Lake was born for several years. Robert Fripp and Andy Sumner came from there as well.
