I've always thought that punk originated with "The Damned" or "The Stooges" but not the Ramones. The Ramones were to late on the scene to have been responsible for "punk" music.

Yeah! Siouxsie & The Banshees. I know only the "Peepshow" album but it's really good.
Also an album I like is "Felt Mountain" from Goldfrapp... amazing beautiful songs!
I saw Yeah Yeah Yeah's, they made the first part before Björk's show... I prefered a lot
Björk on stage.
About something around punk, Nick Cave's "The Birthday Party" in the
early 80s was crazy!

Any FURS fans?
New Wave, was just around the corner from punk, and I'd say New Wave, was a little less violent, and better too, the Psychedelic Furs carried the torch for sure, I saw them in Gusman Cultural Center in Miami, the place is like a small church inside, and the best place in the world to witness anyone play,  I can't say what Richard Butler did besides sing that night...(I'll get into that later  seen a lot of good shows there...)
The furs "All of this and nothing" featuring "Heartbreak beat" , "Ghost in you" , "Sister Europe", "Imitation Of Christ" to name a few; is a good CD if you don't have any Furs in your collection.
"The Ghost In You"

you know couch?, you are right, I'm a Beatle person, I had a chance to go see Elvis a few months before his death, I was invited, so no ticket to buy, someone else was driving, and I laughed at my friend, and said, "why would I want to see Elvis?" of course after his death, I thought maybe I should have went but I didn't lose any sleep, I think that maybe the age difference, was why he didn't appeal to me.
