    Well the choices woulda been:
    The Velvet Underground ~ White Light/White Heat
    The Stooges ~ The Stooges
    MC5 ~ Kick Out The Jams
    The Stooges ~ Fun House
    The Stooges ~ Raw Power

    I don't really like a lot of the Stooges' work. It's probably more of an acquired taste.

    MC5 is okay, but I've still kind of been tainted by BOC's cover of "Kick Out the Jams." :(

    So, I'll go with the Velvets. :)

    Neither, best Punk album of all time is the Damned-Machine Gun Ettiquette. That or the debut of Pere Ubu.

    I wouldn't truly call The Velvet Underground "Punk-rock", the term is no longer used to describe that kind of music...

    In the "old" punk-rock aspect I would go with the Velvet, in the more modern, I have to agree on the Sex Pistols.

    The Velvet Underground were more avante grade (noise rock in some respects). They were also very experimental and innovative so its not the best idea to simply classify them as punk, its to restricting. With that said, if you are asking for my favorite, it is indeed VU.

    Fun House or the Stooges debut.

    VU isn't punk.

    Out of those albums, White Light/White Heat is definitely my favorite. However, like most people have said, it's not really punk. I've never thought of WL/WH as punk, but I guess you could see it otherwise.

    So, Kick out the Jams would be my favorite punk album out of those. Hell, I actually wouldn't even call KOTJ punk, but meh...

    Brothers and sisters,

    I wanna see a sea of hands out there.

    Let me see a sea of hands.

    I want everybody to kick up some noise.

    I wanna hear some revolution out there, brothers.

    I wanna hear a little revolution.

    Brothers and sisters, the time has come

    for each and every one of you to decide

    whether you are gonna be the problem,

    or whether you are gonna be the solution.

    You must choose, brothers, you must choose.

    It takes 5 seconds, 5 seconds of decision.

    Five seconds to realize your purpose here on the planet.

    It takes 5 seconds to realize that it's time to move.

    It's time to get down with it.

    Brothers, it's time to testify and I want to know,

    Are you ready to testify?

    Are you ready?

    I give you a testimonial, The MC5

    ----Brother J.C. Crawford





    best introduction ever!:D

    ahaha, my bad :p

    I consider "White Light/White Heat", "Sister Ray", "Lady Godiva's Operation", and "I Heard Her Call My Name" all to be proto-punk.... that's more than half the album, good enough for me!
