ELP came into this discussion because that was the basis for Punk in general but also bands like Kiss who knew it wasn't about the convention of 70's radio, I choose a random band (which I actually meant ELO) but the point remains the same (did you see what I did there). Kiss didn't get it right because it was "stolen" riffs about sex, but because it was about passionate people who felt that people should be writting about what they knew, not what they read.
To this degree Kiss is closer to the 60's folk movement than the prog bands.
