Proto-Punk or Post-Punk?

Electrophonic Tonic · 12-07-2011, 05:07 PM

I'm totally in the proto-punk camp. My love of garage rock is probably the reason, since the two can so easily spill into each other, and some of my favorites including The Sonics, 13th Floor Elevators, MC5 and even Link Wray can straddle that line. I find a lot of punk like Sex Pistols and the Clash too clean and crisp. The noisy, buzzy sludge of garage rock is so much like proto-punk and that's why I love it.

To be fair, I haven't given post-punk much of a listen.
