Re: I have heard the first true PUNK song !!

I guess I don't see the point in calling something punk before the New York bands, when the term came into existance to describe a musical style. Sure, you can argue that earlier bands has stylistic similarities, but as this thread points out, which bands are most similar will depend more on what particular facets of sound, look, or attitude each individual focuses on, than anything else.

I don't call Muddy waters rock 'n' roll, even if he shares a lot with a ton of rock 'n' roll bands. I don't call the Chili Peppers Nu- Metal even though they share a lot with those bands (which I'll likely be laughed at for saying, but hey they were one of the earlier practitioners of the funk/rap hard rock combo which seems to define the genre these days).

I just figure it's an endless cuycle of arguement and speculation if you wanna figure out who was the first punk band or song by any defination other than when was the term thrown around in a musical sense on a somewhat regular basis.
