This is an argument that is way beyond the scope of a message board. There's no doubt that each had their good and bad qualities...but to write off a band for using 3 chords is just retarded. They also had plenty of songs with more than 3 chords. I'll take that kind of beauty in simplicity over any kind of dub influenced horseshit any day of the week.
