Songs that sound like they could be 1977 punk but came out several years earlier
I'll start with:
LEO & THE PROPHETS - TILT-A-WHIRL

Society And Me : Branded X This track is incredibly 77. Even the band name, the title, the lyrics, the singer's voice, everything... Could it be that's it's a fake ? |

And I'm surprised no-one mentioned the Monks (too obvious ?)

The Monks are always the first band that comes to mind.
One that no one mentions is the Dutch Outsiders' 'Prison song' ... vicious fast strumming barre chords -- whatta fuggin MONSTA!!!!!
Actually, the Outsiders in general were very pre-punkish.
'The Great Train Robbery' by the Little Boys Blue, too.

That Dani song is very much ahead of its time, more like 1979 "new wave" than punk, maybe. She even looks the part.
I've got the ils sont fous ces gaulois #3 comp, but hadn't listened to it yet... lots of catching up to do. I've got another song by her, la fille a la moto, which is better but not as prescient.
Someone should definitely do a comp of pre-punk songs. Would be informative, at the very least.

Not 77 but I always found Lothar & the Hand People Sex & Violence was a bit proto-(early)Jon Spencer Blues Exp.

The Reasons Why 'Don't Be That Way'... and how could I forget 'Ugly Thing' by the Creatures? Also the Souls of the Slain's version of 7 + 7 is ... .sounds like the guy's having a seizure.
'Kicks & Chicks' by the Zipps is another one. Dude sounds like Johnny Rotten 10 years too early. Come to think of it, so does Sky Saxon on that Raw & Alive Seeds LP from '66.
Oh yeah, and Sound Of Imker-Train of Doomsday from 1969 sounds like fuckin Motorhead... I guess that should be in the proto-metal thread then.
