The Greatest punk band of all time!

Why on earth has someone said the Velvet Underground? Have you ever listened to them? Yes they are a great band, but do you really call that punk?

Yes. They were a punk band.
So was T-Rex.
They were punk before punk was fashionable.
They invented the punk image, which became the punk movement, and 'punk rock' music.

Sorry mate T-Rex was not punk, he was 'glamrock'. I suppose the look Marc Bolan and T-Rex had was a bit similar to the New York dolls but no way was he 'Punk'. Sex Pistols the original and the best

Check again. Marc Bolan called HIMSELF a punk in 1973. Long before the Sex Pistols.

Mate, they aren't a punk band. How are songs like 'Who Loves the Sun', 'New Age', 'Heroin', 'Pale Blue Eyes' etc. punk songs? Thats the most ridiculous thing I've ever herd.
