Ramones- Judy Is A Punk 1974

jajaja thats right

It's fun to see nerds arguing! NERDS!

@LennonMorrissey some do
but the established wisedom is they were prto punk a pre punk band that heavily influenced the creation of punk MOST
"experts" in the field say the VERY first punk band the band called punk rock was the ramones

WE INVENTED PUNK ROCK!!!!

The Ramones are the first punk rock band. Other bands, such as the Stooges and the New York Dolls, came before them and set the stage and aesthetic for punk, and bands that immediately followed, such as the Sex Pistols, made the latent violence of the music more explicit, but the Ramones crystallized the musical ideals of the genre

The Ramones were an American rock band often regarded as the first punk rock group

American acts like The Velvet Underground, MC5, The Stooges, The Sonics, New York Dolls, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Richard Hell, Tom Verlaine and from Britain David Bowie, The Who, Roxy Music, and Hawkwind are commonly cited as the most noteworthy protopunk artists that would ultimately influence punk musicians- but the ramones came first we invented punk rock

Typically, protopunk bands were not considered punk themselves; the typification is, furthermore, not widely regarded to have been the result of a distinct musical genre as the precursors of punk rock came from a wide array of backgrounds, styles, and influences.

Protopunk is a term used retrospectively to describe a number of music artists who were important precursors of the punk rock movement of the mid-1970s and later, or who have been cited by early punk musicians as influential
