I can't swallow this. Just because they didn't call it punk yet, doesn't mean it wasn't punk. And the term "proto-punk""---pshhhh.
For instance, to say Iggy wasn't punk as f**k between '68 and '74 is crazy. I don't care if the term "punk" had been attached to anything at that point or not. The MC5 weren't punk because the Pistols hadn't come along yet? Ha!
Punk has been around since the Johnny Burnette and His Rock 'N Roll Trio album. They just hadn't pigeonholed it yet with a term.
ok, fire away...
