who invented punk (rock, The Ramones, sex pistols, cover, quote)

All of the early 70s punk rock bands(Sex pistols, Ramones, Stooges) are just Rock and Roll groups, protopunk at the very most. The Velvet Underground is pretty rad, but pretty damn far from being anything even remotely punk rock. The earliest legitimate punk group that I know of is the Germs, both in terms of vocal melody and instrumentation. There could be some that came before that were actual punk rock groups, I'm not really a punker, but Johny Rotten, Iggy Pop, Dee Dee, and certainly Lou Reed had nothing to do with them.
