Sid didn't even know how to play when the Pistols formed and we've all heard their rather crass vocals. Even their fans won't argue the fact that they lacked musical talent (That's not what their fans care about.) Whether you like them or not isn't relevent when considering whether or not they were punk. Personally, I'm not a huge fan, but I give credit where it's due. They were essentially the epitome of 'punk'.

They were an aggresive, but crappy, rock band from England that blew up because people were sick of disco. They made a lasting impression on music in general and if they never existed, music would probably sound pretty different right now.
