... you are pretty much all wrong anyway.
To start with, when Floyd were young they used to encore with Chuck Berry songs. Secondly, art is not about what I suspect you think it is about... a technical superiority.
If you think there was no quality songwriting in punk, clearly you never heard much of it... The Sex Pistols had some sensational songs just for one. Whining was a quality inherent to the arty singer songwriters of the early 70s. Floyd's songs are not exactly optimistic especially at the time they were obsessed with "whining" about Syd...
It would seem you are obsessed with a kind of classical conservatism which is a dead end as illustrated by the increasingly small circles that prog moved itself into within a very short timespan in those dearly beloved early 70s.
Curiously of course, in Britain, Pink Floyd were directly responsible for much of the flowering of punk through their continues payments to their first manager Pete Jenner who moved on into responsibility for a lot of what you are dismissing.
Now that is poetic...
