Punk and DIY had a big impact on the importance attached to playing skill in rock music. Raw, unsophisticated musicianship was a hallmark of the punk sound, and it changed the way people understood and embraced pop music. Not that this was an entirely bad thing–punk brought a unique form of spontaneity to music and produced–at least to this listener–loads of great bands and songs.

Punk eventually produced some great musicians and bands like The Police, The Clash and The Pretenders. These guys showed the later generation that you could have that spontaneity and urgent sound and be a good musician.
