The Sex Pistols were the ones that really gave punk its "fuck off and fuck everything image" they were infamous for it on UK TV and media in the late 1970s. But then again The Doors, Iggy Pop and MC5 were doing the same thing a decade before and all are big influences on punk. Bands like the Buzzcocks were a bridge between punk and new-wave so behaved, whilst bands like the Dead Kennedys bridged the gap between the Sex Pistols and hardcore punk. The Ramones always seemed to be about having a good time in a heavily drug induced way and influenced a whole load of the future more commercial punk bands.
