Stooges and Mc5 had direct influences on UK bands. The Ramones were together before either The Sex Pistols or the Clash. US punk bands began forming in 74, UK bands didn't start til 76. I'm not even a patriotic person, I could give a **** about the USA, but I can't take that people won't admit punk didn't start in England.
It doesn't matter - let the sub-par bands fight it out too see whether it came from England or the US - because the best band came from Scotland.
