I'll also add that the MC5 and Iggy and the Stooges really set the stage for later punk. I'm not totally sure, but I believe these bands were started in the late 60's. I'm glad Iggy Pop lived through it all. He's a great performer, even now. And if you want to look to the origins of the grunge explosion of the late 80's early 90's, look to the Sonics.

I took a look at the link you suggested. Yes, some late 60s bands could be considered proto-punk. One of the bands that heavily influenced the punk scene was the Velvet Underground. BTW, that link that you posted got disabled by the software I use to block Web advertising (WebFree 1.1 for the Mac) and I had to reconfigure my software. Even though the link was for www.threeweb.ad.jp, putting the magic words "web" and "ad" together in the same HTML tag triggered the ad blocker! (Yes, I know, damned leftists trying to view Web sites such as Yahoo without seeing all the ads that help pay for the business costs...
