 | | Pub rock is the frequently forgotten forefather of punk rock, although on the surface the two genres don't appear to have much in common. |
 | | The simple, laid-back three-chord shuffles of pub rock -- ranging from straight-ahead rock and roll, to country and blues-rock -- didn't require much skill, but it was a working class, do-it-yourself movent that took rock and roll back to its roots, which is essentially what punk rock did. |
