As far as proto-punk goes, most are familiar with a couple obvious examples: The Stooges, The Velvet Underground, The Modern Lovers, The New York Dolls, Roxy Music, Television, etc. As close to the heart as these are for me, I've got to say that a very small handful of bands got thrown under the bus and deserve the same recognition and devotion. French one-off act Rob Jo Star Band sits mightily, along with Simply Saucer, at the top of that list. An absolute blast of weird, what with the insane synth skree and Damo Suzuki-esque semi-English patois. Must be heard.
