Some say "You really got me" from 1964 was a proto-punk song

It was written for The Pretenders, but sounds like The Members.
What the hell's going on with DS now? Every time I press a key, the screen gets overlaid with what looks like a blue gingham tablecloth. |

I mean that it was written for the Pretenders and in particular, for Chrissy Hynde, who Ray Davies was married to at the time.
I don't get what made you think it was written for the Pretenders, as they have never sang that song Also Ray Davies never married Chrissie Hynde...... they only went out for a couple of years and had a daughter |

Digressing.
In my opinion the guitar solo on, "All Day and All of the Night," must go down as one of the worst in the history of pop. |

I think it is accepted that Dave Davies was never the most fluent player compared to his peers.

It's about who popularised power chords and their use in metal and punk music. Many point to Link Wray's 'Rumble' from 1958 but The Kinks made the sound clearer and more riff-driven with 'You Really got me' (Aug '64) and The Who's 'I Can't Explain' (Jan '65) was power chord driven as well. I think The Kinks (and The Who) influenced both metal and punk. However, Sabbath's legendary 'Paranoid' is the seminal protopunk track.

Bit like SLF if he had an Irish twang.
