Exactly, and who cares how good someone is at playing the guitar, if they have no originality, and cannot write songs. Heaps of the best rock acts aren't particularly great at their instruments, but they are original, and write great songs, and work well as a band. For rock and pop, that is so much more important than chops, as long as you are reasonably good. It's different if you want to play jazz or classical or metal of course...
