When I think of early punk or "proto-punk", I don't think of groups like the Stooges or the Velvet Underground. Don't get me wrong, I love those bands, but they seem closer to classic rock than the punk sound.
Australia's Radio Birdman formed in 1974 and developed a sound that would, to my ears, sound quintessentially "punk". Birdman and the Saints were probably the biggest punk bands to come from Down Under.
Here is a track off of their 1977 release, Radios Appear.
