Now imagine this with a full Marshall stack, double kick and Lemmy's voice over it.

Lemmy also used to say that if motorhead had short hair they'd have been considered punk rather than metal!!
Either way, surf's influence on punk is undeniable!! Just check out the Dead Kennedy's...but better?? I disagree
It's really hard not to hear surf music in pop punk bands : Blink 182, Weezer etc
Both Link Wray and the Stooges were "punk" before anyone was calling it that, IMO. Categories get painted with such broad strokes and there's so much cross-pollination it's pretty hard to draw any clear lines of delineation, especially between any of the myriad tendrils of rock'n'roll. "Punk" has been used to describe dozens of genres of music, some only barely related. Rock'n'roll has also been countless different styles of music over time, as has R&B. They're just words.

Is this commonly asserted? If not, you should copyright the claim, great stuff.

Glad I could help??? (I guess LOL

I hate when people use the word better. How do you know it's better? How can you say it better? How is it better? Do you mean you like it better then punk? Like what's better about it? What does better even mean when it comes to this thread. I can go on forever, like how is surf " better "? And I'm not saying this in the way of sticking up for punk and saying punk is better cause that's not what I mean. Music is music, theirs all different genres and for most of it it takes some kind of talent, it takes emotion, some skill, passion, heart, and whatever else. I can't stand rap " oh punk is better then rap " no you can't say that. All music stands for itself, genre or not. I would rephrase the OP cause it's ridiculous. And one more thing, how can you even compare surf and punk? They're both unique and f$&@in awesome and sound nothing alike, so how is it " better ". Please explain
The Ramones might have something to say in this discussion...
17th century french classical music is the father of deathmetal.
Indian raga's directly influenced lowselfesteemcore.
And finally, Tibetan chant is the precursor to the Eagles.

My $.02 worth: I get into lots of music, baroque to punk, country to Mexican gangster, r&b to hill billy hip hop, progressive to pop.
Surf music just doesn't make my list. If only that wipe out had ended with a leash wrapped drowning. Surf music is like lobster bait. Done right, it'll gag a maggot.
Of course, YMMV, IMHO, ect, ect.

In an unrelated tangent, when does your sister get out of jail?
There is another much sexier video for this tune on Youtube, but it might have been a bit much for this board so I chose the tamer version.
