Do you think pop music got more focused in the mid-late 70's?

Agreed.

Who took a knife to a speaker, for fuzz effect, first? I honestly don’t remember right now.

Pretty sure it was a Kinks legend…something to do with a brotherly spat…they ended up using it for tracks. That’s pretty early punk to me

But Link Wray is a legend…with excellent taste in guitars.

These are only my opinions…

Link Wray, in my limited knowledge
He told a story about the first time he played Rumble, on a blown speaker at a small show, and the kids went nuts for the song
When they tried to record it, he said he had to poke holes in the amp to get the sound

I recently watched this on Netflix, that is where I heard that story, and several others

RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked The World | Films | PBS

RUMBLE is the electric story of how Native American influence shaped rock and roll, a missing chapter in music history.

I saw that, and added it to my watchlist…haven’t had a chance yet.
I learned of him late in life…wish I had known sooner.
