I have to go with the Ramones on this one. While I respect what the punk/new wave movement did to shake up a stagnant/boring music scene, I expect any band to have a decent level of musicianship and be able to play their instruments. Shock/adrenaline/spitting on fans/screaming profanity, is not enough for me to get into a style of music, I actually pay attention to the songs and the music,,,IMHO.
