BTW, for the record, I still have not voted yet. But between the two, I just may go for The Ramones, but I can't say they invented Punk either...just the confirmation that someone understood Raw Power in a time when the industry was trying to get rid of it. That first album alone tops Never Mind the Bollocks for it's buzzsaw guitars alone. The Sex Pistols were great, don't get me wrong, but without John Lydon (or, later Sid), they would have been a kick ass Pub Rock band. Now if it were a match between The Ramones and THE DAMNED, then it would be the never ending decision.

Quote:
Link Wray and his Ray Men, which pioneered an overdriven, distorted electric guitar sound. He also "invented the power chord, the major modus operandi of modern rock guitarist,"[1] "and in doing so fathering," or making possible, "punk and heavy rock"
The Dictators
Quote:
The Dictators are represented in the "Punk Wing" of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in Cleveland, Ohio. Steven Van Zandt called them "The connective tissue between the eras of The MC5, Stooges, NY Dolls, and the punk explosion of the mid to late 1970s".
Blue Cheer
Quote:
Blue Cheer played in a psychedelic blues-rock style, and is also credited as being pioneers of heavy metal (their cover of "Summertime Blues" is sometimes cited as the first in the genre[4]), punk rock,[3] stoner rock,[2][5] doom metal,[5][6] experimental rock,[7] and grunge.

Citing Wikipedia doesn't count.

That is like going to a meeting of experts and pulling out a pamphlet and claiming you know more than them, when i reality you know nothing and just wanna look like you do so not to be called an idiot in their presence.

Well it all depends what's on the pamphlet doesn't it. Unless you can divulge what's on the pamphlet I think it's a moot point bringing it up in the first place.

Psy-Fi Link Wray would definitely be a the top of the list. Rumble is definitely one of those songs from the early days of Rock and Roll that left it mark on countless guitar players and Link Wray's influence can not be understated.

Psy-Fi +1 point
BastardoFyoung -2 point
