Not at my highschool, nobody even knew about Emerson, Lake and Palmer. I bought the Tarkus album after a free concert at the National Arts center. I was front row centre.
I read that Anderson wrote 'living in the past' as a homage to Take 5. Although Paul Desmond would be more proud because he was the one who wrote Take 5, not Brubeck.
This is mainstream music now. A "respectable" choice for the masses. When it first came out it seemed only the drug crowd liked it.

I think it is a Canadian news show called W-5 that uses this song as their opening theme song. You can't get more staid then that.

You got it all backwards. The 'drug crowd' back than enjoyed Pictures at the Exibition. Rap or hip hop wouldn't survive a week...

An amazing song and all in 5/4 too. Dave Brubeck would be proud.
