Punk ? Just a great rock band

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Some people have said that the New York Dolls were the first punk band but you could go back as far as Syd Barrett and early Who/Stooges.

I think the stooges were a rock band , the guitar on dirt is so heavy

Labels are arbitrary really. Sniffin' Glue fanzine in the 70s gave the following advice on how to create punk which was, I think: Steal a guitar, learn three chords, form a band.

But you can progress from that in many directions and still retain the original spirit.

The Stooges were a hard rock band for sure, but there were elements of punk in their sound too.

Nobody was playing like this in 1972
