Punks more a attitude than a style of music. The Pistols and Ramones are more rn'r bands than punk bands (as were Dead Boys, The Germs, Crime, ect). The first notable "punk" band was Crass in my opinon. They started punk as we know it today.... very influential on the whole scene.

I understand what you mean about style, understood. but now a days, punk is more seen as what you wear. Back then, Punk is only about music and social meaning, which all the bands I named have.
What I don't understand is how you can say The Germs, Pistols, The ramones were more Rock N' Roll than Punk. You can't get any more attitude than Darby Crash.
I've heard of the Cramps, never really heard they're music. I am just not too into goths.
I disagree, The Velvet Understand and the Stooges were the first punk bands.
