Yeah they always go for that year zero thing with the punk. Very tiresome. Prog artists started off playing the 3 chord rocknroll in the sixties rebelling against their dad's jazz records. They got educated more musically until they did their stuff in the seventies. Just the same as the punk bands who got educated musically and did the same by their second/ third albums. Both PIL and Magazine achieved this by the second albums - Metal Box and Secondhand Daylight are progressive albums played with punk attitude. John Lydon has become an irritating tosser as much as some of the prog rockers, more so in the fact he lives off the past.
