If ya want to get technical about it, whoever first picked up a guitar and expressed themselves w/ it in such a way that wasn't aimed at pleasing an audience.
I think that can be used to describe countless blues musicians and many a peeps that came after.
W/ that said, the Stooges will always be the first real "punk band" as far as I'm concerned. That first Stooges record came out the same week as Woodstock. Shit really says something. "Punk", as a movement, def. seemed to have taken shape right after the Stooges broke up.
