Obviously they did have more talent - in marketing for example. There clearly wasn't a market for band + full orchestra tours. We must also bear in mind that Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones were getting a lot of flack - the vitriol was not just aimed at prog.  
When it comes to moronic we surely must include cannons and revolving drumkits. As I intimated in an earlier post, I don't feel we, as a loyal and comsiderate audience need cannons and fireworks such as were displsyed at High Voltage. I'd rather they spent that money on rehearsal.

    Greg was right. Had punk artists just did their thing, no one would care.
    But they went out of their way to attack prog. What did they offer in
    return? Simplistic, moronic music for angry people. They were mostly
    musicians with little talent claiming they had more talent than those in
    the prog genre. Even disco was better than punk.
     
    To each their own. I found punk a kind of anti-music with a dark message.
    It was just the opposite of prog.

    It's a good thing that Greg all the prog bands didn't just sit on their
    arses and fought back and released great new music to prove all those punks
    wrong! Let me go check my ELP albums from that eraŠ Damn I can only find
    Works Volume 2 and Love BeachŠ still, what a fantastic song "Show me the way
    to go home" is eh? :-)
     
    If you want a good 8 minute epic song with a great intro, swirling keyboard
    solo and a great instrumental outro then check out this song from those
    "punks" The Stranglers first album in 1977

the cannons, revolving drum kit, bat wings on modulars, persian carpets, orchestra, etc. were not overblown, nor mornic aspects.  consider acts that followed later on, post 70s prog era.  there were mainstream rock bands that were far from talented, and far from the genre of prog, that had far greater loads of pyro, lighting, and crew, as well as the regular retinue of hangers-on, posses.  with regards to their body of work, it couldn't hold a candle to what ELP brought forth between 1970, and up to Works V1.  collectively, Zep, Stones, ELP, The Who, Floyd, etc. made a far greater impact in music, stage production, as well as in the pages of rock history than these posers who relied moreso on stagecraft, than developing their music.

Not to worry. I removed that user shortly after the original post was made.
