That's certainly one way to look back on it with hindsight, but not the only way.
And definitely not one I agree with at all.
Steve Harris (and Iron Maiden) got way more out a song like Roundabout with Chris Squire than he did from any punk music.
The more I think about it, the Iron Maiden and Punk association makes zero sense at all.
But hey, your opinion man.
