It was amazingly enough invented by Los Saicos from Peru in the early 60's. Listen on youtube if you doubt that. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I would also throw The Kinks into the ring, as some of their songs in the sixties sounded really raw and punky. As for the Sex Pistols, wasn't an awful sound essential for punk? I also think their whole behaviour made them idols for many punks back in the days, so my opinion is that there is more to punk than just the musical side, which would put the Sex Pistols on top of the list as inventors of punk again.

They broke through in to the main stream to a degree that other punk acts never managed. It's sort of like Eddie VanHalen being credited with inventing tapping/hammering. Players were doing it for decades before Eddie. But he is the iconic character most associated with that technique, so it's often attributed to him.

I don't think you could say punk rock was invented by a particular band, because no music genre was really invented per se. Most genres develop from a scene, and most scenes are inspired by their predecessors. Since the late 70's, punk rock has had a consistent sound, albeit with some variability, and I vaguely hear that sound in this band. Also, I don't think any of the early punk rock bands were heavily inspired by Los Saicos, if they were inspired by them at all. Come to think of it, I don't think there was any genesis moment for punk rock, it kinda just happened And finally, the boys from Los Saicos look like they bath on a regular basis, so that definitely disqualifies them from being punk You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Either of the three answers I would consider "generally" acceptable. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
