Punk was more than just recording retro-records. The Pistols were fresh because they emphasized 45s and songs with biting social criticism. If an early 60's sound were the sole benchmark for punk, then I'd put the NY Dolls ahead of the Ramones because they recorded "Too Much, Too Soon", back in 1974, with legendary 60's producer, Shadow Morton.
