Punk's roots are American, not British.  No, I'm not talking about the
earlier 'garage band' style also known as punk-rock (I'd love to talk
about it, though)... I mean the Stooges, MC5, and Velvet Underground.
They were THE proto-punks and served as inspiration to both latter-day
American punkers (New York Dolls, Dictators, RAMONES!!!) as well as the
generation of British punks.  Sid Vicious often expressed a desire to meet
Lou Reed; I believe Sid played several Velvets covers at his last live
performance.
