I never said that The Dolls were. I just said that they influenced The Pistols.

Punk has it's roots in '60s Garage Rock and Protopunk bands like The Stooges The MC5, The Velvet Underground, The Sonics, etc.

I never said that you did it was just based on the logic that you've already put forward here. I was also making a reference that we can constantly go back and say this band and that band started a musical style.

So pissed off in fact that they all came flocking over to London as soon as it broke there trying to tour with all those bands they supposedly hated because there was so little going on where they were from.

Not my logic, but the logic of the OP.

They were both boy bands, one of them were just a little nicer.


Going with the Ramones for their music, which I still enjoy.

Sex Pistols definitely put on crazier shows and antics though.

You do know that The Pistols were influenced directly by The New York Dolls,
Yeah. And?

and also by The Ramones, right?
How could they possibly have been influenced by the Ramones when they were around before the Ramones ever released a record? How could the Sex Pistols have been influenced by the Ramones when they didn't even know what they sounded like?

Even if you want to take out the Protopunk bands, The Sex Pistols still didn't create Punk. In fact, read the excellent book Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History Of Punk.

New York punks? You mean Blondie? Television? The Voidoids? If they want to pretend they're punk bands then more power to them. Maybe the Heartbreakers might count, but other than that... yeah. The punk movement was started in England. Period. Whatever band might happen to be the first band that ticked all the right musical boxes at the earliest possible time is almost beside the point, because without England they would have just been another isolated band that would have likely fallen by the wayside of history just like the Stooges, the New York Dolls, and the Velvet Underground (all bands that only really get retroactive notice because of punk).

You're wrong. Television didn't pretend to be Punk, probably didn't know what the genre was. Richard Lloyd just consider Television playing "street" music.

It's true the Punk "I'll spit in your face, jump up and down like a kid on a pogo stick, pin my clothes together with safety pins and wear S&M stuff" Rock started in England. But the music that became known as Punk evolved in the USA. Even the Rock and Roll that all UK band played has roots in America and like-wise American Folk had it's roots in the British Isle and Ireland. The UK and the US is really one country separated by the animosity of who started what.
