I know it's popular to prefer the Ramones to the Sex Pistols

The only reason this board prefers the ramones is because it's majoritively American

Not only better music, but the musical influence the Pistols had was far greater as well.

daily reminder PIL is superior to both

The Damned always were and always will be the best of the first-wave UK punk bands. Machine Gun Etiquette and The Black Album are masterpieces on par with Fun House and Raw Power.

The Stranglers always were and always will be the second best.

The Ramones were more pop-ish punk to me while Sex Pistols were closer to hard rock to me. So Ramones pretty much catchier songs to me but Sex Pistols had more punch. The Pistols were a bunch of asswipes though

buzzcocks were better.

I agree with this. I love both bands..and you need to respect what they both did for punk. In this case I think the Pistols win though. Romones got huge in America and we're primarily catchier punk-pop...not pop punk..there is a difference!

the important thing is that The Clash are better than both of them, combined

the clash were embarrassing pseudo political funk pop, they were anti punk. their entire design was to be cool
