I see what you mean. However, I've always thought of SY as a rock band in structure. This might seem weird to some given SY's sound. However, when you look at the way the songs are structured and the rhythms they use, it really is the same as any other, more traditional, rock band. Just instead of using standard tuning and actual musical notes all the time they instead use non-standard tunings and weird noises as well as musical notes. I guess you could say that they do play rhythm and lead parts, just in their own unconventional style.
