Question IYO, Who Is The Definitive Proto-Punk Band?
which band sounded the most "punk" before punk was even a thing?

to me, The Electric Eels sounded the most "punk". they just had the snottiness & nihilism that a lot of the harder edged garage bands (that often get labeled proto-punk) lacked.

Velvet Underground seem indisputably the most important

while Stooges seem most defining of what it was to be punk before CBGB

what I mean is who sounded the most "punk" (what we've come to know as the punk rock sound) before punk existed?

Well then The Stooges pretty obviously.

I think there are worse things than wanting to rep the Electric Eels.
