then again, punk musically was based around making a point that simplicity is the best way to get the point across - their words meant so much more than the fact that they predominantly used 3 chords and had a fast beat so the focus would be on the lyrics rather than the complexity and how they made those sounds because they could be easily replicated. but hey, that is my opinion.
