Proto-Punk

Protopunk is a term used to describe a number of performers who were important precursors of the punk rock movement of the mid-1970s and later, or who have been cited by early punk rockers as influential. Their varieties of music span the spectrum from the avant garde pop of the Velvet Underground, the dirty Detroit rock n roll of The Stooges and the MC5 to the political messages of Patti Smith.

Ok pluss1, you have a point. However, the people tagging linkin park as proto-punk know it's wrong and are just doing it to be funny or w/e. These people really deserve a "fuck you" or something.

Fuck you fucking fuckfuck! How stupid doesn't it sound? Almost everyone of you are morons. This shoutbox is not meant to be for you to spread shit all over this place. I was curious about what kind of music this really is and who's playing it, 'cause I just listened to MC5, and it was awesome. All of this is just bullshit, and all I find is comments like "fuck you", "fuck this" and stuff. It's goddamn horrible! You should be embarrassed. Respect other peoples music. This ain't no crap. Tell you what's crap? Things (not songs) like "Infinity 2008" and stuff is crap, it's music that sucks, either you like it or not. This is good music, but you don't need to like it. Thank you. [2]

Wouldnt Syd Barrett be in that top list? Was he not one of the triggers that made Johnny Rotton hate Pink Floyd and didn't the Damed want him to produce their first record? Many other punk bands have sited Syd as a influence. The Soft Boys, Brian Eno sh!t even David Bowie.
