People could argue about who started it all day I'm sure. The Saints ... Stranded ..etc..but that was one song. Velvet Underground ya ya..The Dolls.
However what I consider punk (which isn't saying anything) was them. Nothing before that to me was. I'm not in the majority I know. Some before them sounded more punk than others. Some I can't get how they get the label.
It felt like punk to me, sounded like punk, smelled like punk. Pere Ubu, Blondie, Television etc..sounded new to me...just not punk.
