I would put The Who and The Small Faces as the first bands who didn't give a fuck what anyone thought....if you call that attitude punk.

I just thought they were scared shitless of his 'breast' sized black cheek's when he blew...

The Doors? Psychodelic rock. One of the better 'bent' bands. Morrison was so often out of his tree that you could plant a forest with him.

Is that THE marilyn manson writing that piece, if so he might have a slightly slanted view point.

But to say anyone was PUNK before PUNK had been defined is a bit like calling daVinci a surrealist, because he ticks a couple of the boxes, and was a bit strange for his day and did things differently.

Anyway, everyone knows theres no such thing as punk, 'cus once you label it man it ceases to exist.

To me what identified Punk was a total disregard for music - they weren't experimenting and breaking boundries,they wanted to break the whole perfection of the thing.So we can really disregard the musicians from this discusion.
