We could talk all night about Proto Punk or the many variant sounds thereof but if someone asked me what Punk Rock sounded like then Dead Boys and Infest will do me fine and Infest are definitely an unknown quantity to many people and certainly qualify for the criteria and then some.
I listened to this around the time I heard that Dead Boys album and I didn't really hear any kind of progression. Not that I was really over the moon about RftT either mind you.

Best punk album
 
The Damned - Damned Damned Damned, Machine Gun Etiquette

Personally I think the Dead Boys are far from generic. For their time, they were actually pretty much close to the top. Yeah, RFtT have definite similarities, being as though Cheetah Chrome was in both bands, and his guitar playing is pretty recognizable. Stiv Bators though is a much more charismatic and interesting vocalist than Crocus Behemoth was.

Maybe now a days Young, Loud and Snotty may have some dated aspects, but for 1977 it was far from generic. The opening riff on Sonic Reducer was a call to arms, that sustained note just hits, similar to the way "Sailin' On" does on first Bad Brains album. "Ain't Nothing to Do", "What Love Is" and "High Tension Wire" are classics as well.

I do not know if I would rank it as best punk album of all-time, but it is for sure a contender.

All of their first three albums are excellent and quite different. Great band.

Albums by The Damned
 
Yes, Damned Damned Damned, Machine Gun, Strawberries - they are great all through.

Bollocks by the Sex Pistols is also a very good album.
