Admittedly, it’s alright to slag off some punk bands as mere hacks. Whenever that argument rears its head, at least a bit of credence needs to be understood. Of course, Steve Jones, from the Sex Pistols, is one of the better guitar players to make a pop record – right, I said it – over the last forty years, but no one seems to recognize his talent. Regardless, there’re as many talented folks playing within the confines of punk’s genre restrictions to count high and lows. But what gets glossed over even more regularly than musical talent is the fact that even some of the younger, dumber bands to ever exist were able to cobble together some semblance of cultural relevancy.
