I watched a documentary 2 days ago called Punk. It was a 4 part documentary about Punk Rock from inception through it's development into a newer form of Power Punk Pop. They of course interviewed Iggy Pop (but not a mention of Lou Reed). Iggy stressed the importance of The Kinks, specifically the single "You Really Got Me" to Punk Rock. There is no denying the importance of The Kinks to Punk (especially to those that lived it). They forgot to mention the importance of Lou Reed, Velvet Underground, The Troggs & early Who recordings. If you can't see the inspiration of early Who tracks like "Run, Run, Run", "Disguises" & "My Generation" on Punk, I can't help you. If you don't know The Troggs were a big influence on Punk Rock, it could be forgiven these days.

The Troggs, along with a lot of other great bands can get lost along the road of time. You get a certain set of songs on Classic Rock Radio. That set is what most radio programmers think is classic. The Troggs are regulated to memory by one song "Wild Thing" (very Proto-Punk, Metal & Grunge!). You can not  listen to these 22 songs, 2 tracks are interviews, without realizing how much The Troggs influenced Punk Rock. "I Can Only Give You Everything" is a great example (MC5 covered it as their 1st single) but the song "The Yella In Me" is the best Proto-Punk song lyrically I ever heard. How Punk is it to write a song saying that You let a bully scare you into giving up your girlfriend? Don't take my word for it, download this show and hear for yourself. You know you want it just for the live version of "Wild Thing" anyway, right?
