BF recorded their first single in 1977, so I think they were. DK's I think was 1979.

I think Black Flag's first EP was from 1978, Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables is from 1980.

shit. hold on, how do the talking heads really relate to punk? they were almost funk! (don't get me wrong, i love em more than all those bands). my vote went to them, but then i realized that richard hell was in there... so i retract my vote to the Heads, and give it to mr. Hell.

Black Flag's strong tour ethic helped spread hardcore. They and Dead Kennedys started up virtually simultaneously, although Greg Ginn's first band, Panic, was pre-DK.

What about Bad Brains? Weren't they one of the biggest hardcore inspirations?

I can't believe The Talking Heads are winning this one.

As much as I love them, I can't believe Talking Heads are even on this poll.

I went for Wire.

talking heads

why i evidently voted for the voidoids is anyone's guess, they're the worst band on the list (still good though)

i love how people feel it's worth their time to argue about the origins of punk.
