Yes, I also understand you consider London Calling a top punk album.
It's not nitpicky, it's just being mildly observant of styles, and The Stooges, Patti Smith, MC5 aren't punk. Talking Heads sure as **** ain't, either. If you want to merge all the genres together because they have significance to one another, then let's just label everything pop/rock. Or are you suggesting that we only nitpick to what you deem reasonable?
Honestly, The Stooges sound more like a garage rock band trying to make it into the 70s, the New York Dolls sound like glam rock, and any other "proto-punk" band you can throw at me? There's a genre that fits them much better than punk, please blee dat.
