I think they listen to Coldplay and the like...

I see ... Coldplay, Travis, Muse, Radiohead. I like some of their songs, but I think that such music is only 5% of what I listen to.

No we weren't.  In the 70s, ELP was the biggest thing going.  I worked in a record store in Richmond Va. the summer of 74 and ELP, Yes, FLoyd and King Crimson were right up there with Led Zeppelin.  ELP and Floyd were selling out huge stadiums... ELP headlined one of the largest outdoor festivals ever televised.. and Floyd had on of the most successful tours ever.

In the early 70s, there didn't seem to be a stigma attached to prog rock.  Not by anyone I knew anyway.
THIS IS ELP

Yes, they were outcasts, but what is an emo-kid?

How were prog rock fans treated in the 70s?

Were they outcasts? the equivelent of todays emo-kids? Treated like everyone else? How?

(Please don't tell me you were treated like emo-kids )
I asked Bobby Dylan
I asked the Beatles
I asked Timothy Leary
But he couldn't help me either
They call me the seeker

THE WHO!
