I have a thread on the Monks. It's labelled this forum doesn't get much activity or something like that. The Sonics are the ****. Rocket From the Tombs are more proto-punk than Pere Ubu since I'd consider most of Pere Ubu's recorded output to be post-punk. The Sonics are great, the Stooges are amazing, MC5 are pretty good, the Modern Lovers are good, I don't know Link Wray.

Velvet Underground are considered by many to be proto-punk, Richard Hell and Television also are sometimes, Big Star, John Cale, New York Dolls, and if you want to be very loose about it Captain Beefheart. Lots of great stuff.
