It's always semantics with you! ;p

I think the "mats" were very punk. 1983's Hootenanny is a better example of a self destructive force than "Never Mind the Bollocks" ever was!

I love the Replacements, but I wouldn't call them any more of a punk band than say The Jam (probably my all time favorite band, depending on my mood). It was a matter of the right place at the right time, and the current style let them get the notice they deserved. Sure there are punk elements to what how they started, but the transcended the genre.
