Comment: Sorry, but  - the fundamental content policy of this encyclopedia - is unequivocally, unignorably clear: challenged material must be supported by citations, preferably inline ones.  This material has been challenged, and it has been unsourced for many years.  Come to that, the Protopunk article itself has language like "The term "protopunk" is of uncertain origins, and has proven difficult to define, and many widely different groups have been so dubbed."  The Keep proponents cannot now claim that the article is potentially, conceivably supportable by reliable, independent sources.   '''requires that it must be.''' To quote, "If a topic has no reliable sources, Wikipedia should not have an article on it."  Period.  End of story

Comment: this list appears to be a good case of |original research or simply, the opinion of some editors who added these bands to this page.  Unless some criteria can be set and evidence can support a decent number of these bands' fitting those criteria, this page is better off deleted.  I agree with Mercurywoodrose's arguments above for adding some bands to the suggested category
