Thats your opinion.But my problem with peel is when he crops up on 
every oppurtunity to give his anti ELP opinion.if he hates them so 
much then do one and go off and listen to  'Teenage Kicks- greatest 
song of all time ha ha ' as for you mate where are the great Punk 
Legends now. I give you Mr J Rotten - i'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of 
Here- Thats funnier than Spinal Tap !!
Punk is long dead. prog has continued because it has embraced the new 
technology that it originally created. thicko punks couldnt have done 
that
