Yeah, I'm throwing my two cents in and stating the Sex Pistols did not "invent" punk. I mean, shit, you had proto punk and glam bands going strong before the Sex Pistols; T. Rex, Iggy and the Stooges, MC5, Sweet, Roxy Music, The New York Dolls, The Neon Boys (who then broke up and became Television in 1974, and Richard Hell and the Voidoids), and of course, let's not forget, The Ramones, who were playing shows a full year before The Sex Pistols were formed. Oh and The Damned released an album in 1976 (before the Sex Pistols) considered the UK's first "punk" album.
My vote is for The Ramones for the purebreed Punk band, but overall I like The Velvets and Television a lot more.

Wow, you just saved me the trouble of writing a long post
I agree, The Ramones are the greatest punk band ever. Dead Boys, New York Dolls and The Stooges are my personal favorites though.
