(And I would further argue that "punk" -- particularly the 1977 variety -- was anti-progressive, which is to say downright reactionary. "We only know three chords" basically reflects a fear of trying to be "extraordinary" -- you can't fail if you never really try.)


What punk said was here are 3 chords, here's a cheap guitar, lets start here, all your ideas are ready to go, you can start and move on

what happened was then some moved on and all this rubbish about who is the new prog etc started

Rotten,Vanian,Strummer were hardly ordinary, ideas that would never have been considered releaseable by the major labels were made available, IanB made a list of things that owe a debt to Prog, a similar list that owe a debt to Punk would be a lot longer and IMHO far wider reaching, basically every piece of music made since 1977 has a finger in the punk pie from blackmetal to the X-factor
