I'd say Sex Pistols. They had the guts to sing about anarchism and violence, and other punk bands started following that trend. Sid Vicious would go on stage drunk as a skunk, and died of a heroin overdose. I'd say that set the punk stereotype about drugs and violence. But of course, Ramones DID have a more raw attitude than their precursors, but not AS raw as Sex Pistols.
