I'd go as far to say that The Who were pretty "punk" way before punk was popular, even back when they started. It was just called Mod then. A lot of bands that blew up on the punk scene in the mid to late 70's were influenced by The Who and their contemporaries. Maybe more UK bands (like the Jam), but probably some US bands as well.
