Top Ten Most Punk Sounding Songs of the 1960s
This one is really sounds like a pure punk rock song from 1969
That's because it is punk.
Lou Reed really outdid himself in this one. The vocals and the lyrics are very good, and the guitar solo is worth a mention, too! It's so sad just because it's heavier than their psychedelic/poppy songs it's so underrated...
Ripped off song
However it's mentioned everywhere as proto-metal, it's closer to punk than metal. There is hardly any elements in this song that sounds like inspried metal, but you can hear elements through the song that sounds like inspired punk.
Antisocial lyrics, raw and angry vocals and stripped down power chord guitar riffs. Sounds like punk to me.
@TheStargazer Yes, it is punk enough, too. The earlier Who with their wild behavior and loud music influented the later punk music very well, no doubt.
