You could imagine almost being able to do it yourself.

I like the Patti Smith album I would consider it rock though? I would hold that it is more complex music than what I generally take for punk. For some reason over time punk has become a no go zone for me, I should probably get over it!

I know the above sounds uneducated but I really know next to nothing about punk, I just felt I should explain my own weird personal feeling on it!
