Sex Pistols. Real punk was a short lived media PR frenzy that was in the right place at the right time, it wasnt a reaction to prog rock but something that had always been there but had never had the right conditions to prosper. Punk is rock and roll with less solos, shorter hair, and more relation to the real world (although some protest songs are dumber than singing about guuurls). U2 apparantly started off as punk - nuf said.
