Page "Protopunk" Paragraph 14

Most musicians classified as protopunk are rock and roll performers of the 1960s and early-1970s, with garage rock often cited as an influence.

Some protopunk bands, particularly in the United Kingdom, also fall into the categories of glam, pub, and prog rock ( Roxy Music, for example, who straddled the line between glam and prog, and Peter Hammill, of Van der Graaf Generator, whose solo album Nadir's Big Chance was cited by John Lydon as an influence ).
