he contributed more to heavy metal, but musically and vocally there are a couple that have that driving force that reminds me a bit of punk

what do you consider the first proto punk bands/tracks

Dang youre keeping it even realer than me

what songs? and how is that driving force different than just straight up archetypical RAWK

i dont really like to use the word proto punk that much but MC5 and Stooges are when I would use it more often. I would still call things like the Sonics, Monks, a few Who songs, Louie Louie proto-punk it just wouldn't be the first word I use to describe them. also because it's just not a very descriptive word musically

I’ve told you before that because no one knows when punk rock actually began and ended, it leads to people constantly guessing

Yeah almost everyone from this era has been called proto-punk by somebody at some point but I feel like Van might have come closest with Them which is funny and fitting because he probably gives the least f***s about getting any sort of credit

maybe but thats not really the same convo as the "proto punk" adjective unless youre talking about arguing if some of the earlier 70s stuff can be "true" punk yet or just proto punk which is kinda separate. and also uninteresting

also shoutout to the boomers who just call all 60s garage rock "punk", in a way i can kinda respect that more

kinks and you really got me is really much closer imo.

VU did have songs out but I wonder who the f*** actually heard those in 66 lol
