I'm sorry but this is guitar solo bullshit and def Not Punk. Try New York Dolls...

You mean that glam rock band? The Stooges were 10x the "punk" band The Dolls were, and years beforehand too. Though I find if you ask ten different people what defines punk or who were the first punk band, you'll get ten different answers. You're telling me New York Dolls didn't have guitar solos and lead lines? That they didn't dress up like girls to sell their music? Not to mention their songs are a bit too complex and clean sounding (high pitched vocal harmonies in every song?) for me to call them punk. Now if you're going to tell me it's the attitude and a harsh sound that makes a band punk, yeah they are a punk band. But under that criteria you can't discount MC5.

I agree about the Stooges but most of the bands I've seen listed on here are american and the whole Punk thing was a UK movement that a lot of American bands kind of reverse engineered onto. Bands like MC5 would have been chased of the stage in a shower of piss if they turned up in London looking like that. There was more to Punk than just the music.

I was having trouble deciding whether this was some glam rock or some punk. Then i realized I didn't give a shit. The bassist was in the Sex Pistols though if that gives it any credibility
