Let's settle this once and for all. Who do you consider to be the first punk band? Vote and discuss. I guess this can also just be a punk general to keep the thread going.

What do you guys think of Los Saicos?

This came out in 1964. A lot of people say they're the first, and I kind of agree. Either them or the Sonics....

Why are the London Philharmonic Orchestra not on this ?
So it appears that the largest percentage of people have voted for the Sonics. I don't dislike them, but to me they just sound like any other 60s garage rock band - they don't sound very punk to me. Maybe just proto-punk. What do you think makes them more punk than all the other garage rock bands of the 1960s?

How is this different from countless other garage rock songs?
first of all you do understand this is not an original composition right? It is simply an original arrangement. That exact chord progression had already been used in countless songs by this time.
