Eh, punk was a collection of disparate scenes given a name. Many of the bands didn't even sound alike. Punk started at CBGB's and with the Sex Pistols. Saying other bands sounded like those bands or had similar attitudes or whatever is kind of beside the point. From the Fugs to the Monks to VU and the Stooges they were just all alternative rock before it had a name. Punk was alternative rock before it had a name and if it hadn't blown up and fossilized a sound that was just one (or several) links in the alternative rock chain of evolution then figuring out who was the first punk band would interest nobody.
