The Ramones started the movement in the US (also in 1976-7), but their lyrics weren't nearly as punk in essence.
As for picking up a record, there's only one record to pick up, Never Mind the Bollocks; any recording attempts they made afterwards were awful. This is because they kicked out the original bassist Glen Mattlock (AKA the best songwriter in the group) because he had too nice of an image. They replaced him with Sid Vicious, whose antics tore apart the band and they broke up when he OD'd on heroine.
