I just think that the macho image of Rock is totally useless if it sounds like everything else.

Sure songwriting is more important, but good musicianship dosent hurt, it all depends on what kind of music you write. If you write punk, alternative rock or something along those lines, you dont need very talented musicians, but if we are talking about something like Jazz, Metal or Prog, you will certainly need a good musician or two. Sid Vicious could write a very complex song is he wanted to, but no way in hell would he have actualy been able to play it.
