Title: Re: The First Punk Song Post by: Smilin Ed H on December 15, 2015, 09:00:32 AM I'll take Dance, Dance, Dance over this but I wouldn't make any claim for it as the first punk song.

Title: Re: The First Punk Song Post by: JK on December 15, 2015, 02:59:19 PM My all-time favourite song by anyone is The Kingsmen's "Louie Louie". Released in May 1963 (six months before "Surfin' Bird"), I initially ruled it out because it doesn't sound like punk but it definitely has the punk ethos of atmosphere before musicianship and studio perfection:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjXwkd1MorY Don't get fooled by the happy lyrics and shiny BG vocals... listen to the track, is pure punk! fast bare chords with their bass note swinging. It even has a punk "solo"! :lol Title: Re: The First Punk Song Post by: Aum Bop Diddit on December 15, 2015, 07:47:18 PM Not the first punk song necessarily, but the first something....

Could this have been the first encounter between pop (or rock, for those who insist on this term) and avant-garde, minimalist techniques? :hat Title: Re: The First Punk Song Post by: RangeRoverA1 on December 17, 2015, 07:36:05 PM Can anyone tell the difference between punk & garage? Coz these songs are kind of both. Post the (obvious) example for punk & (obvious) example for garage.
I see I stumped you all with this question. THAT or you're bunch of dummies.

You means stuff like "You're Gonna Miss Me" and "Psychotic Reaction"? Bangs dreamed up an entire career for one-hit wonders Count Five----it makes fascinating reading!

Title: Re: The First Punk Song Post by: Peter Reum on January 16, 2016, 04:45:52 PM My choice for earliest would be The Beach Boys ' Surfin' Safari album :)
