The Sex Pistols; there's no question about it. Even after they sacked Glen, they were still the greatest punk band; after Johnny left, they lost a lot...but still outgunned the Clash and the Ramones.

I really like them both, but the sex pistols I listen to a bit more and find them more desirable to listen to

this is a silly question... the ramones were a real band... the sex pistols were a boy band created by malcom mclauren and were nothing more than a media scam and a complete sellout of the punk movement.

Piss Me Off

Bleurgh. People always use this as a way to attack the Pistols, neglecting to comment on the actual music.

the music was crap next to the ramones... nothing kool about it... is that better? besides did you miss the part about they werent a real band?

Piss Me Off

They never made out that they weren't manufactured, they admitted to it so i don't see the problem unless you're a snob.
I don't judge how good music on how 'kool' it is. It may be a factor, but at the end of the day the Pistols were far more interesting for me.

thats what great about opinions... you can have your own. still time proves the ramones were a better band... have the sex pistols been inducted to the rock and roll hall of fame? the ramones have. and who continues to get bigger? the ramones... proof? they play the ramones on classic rock stations now. but that doesnt mean you have to agree with me cuz all tastes are different.

I dont agree with what you just said, just cause the Ramones play on classic rock stations doesnt mean its cause they are better...just the fact that radio stations put Jessica Simpson on the radio is proof enough that radio airtime on a band or person shouldnt tell how good a band is or not.

Going back to the rock n roll hall of fame, you seem to forget the Sex Pistols were inducted, but the band refused and wrote a letter writting something about he would piss on those who voted them in or something like that. Say what you want to say about Malcolm Mclaren using them as a boy band for commercial gain, the reason they ended was cause of the band member beind fed up of all the bull**** Mclaren put them through, so to me that is punk enough considering they wanted no part of all that **** that came with it, they hated Mclaren and they hated how he used them all for monetary purpouses or simply for creating feud among themselves.

Now back to the question, I think its unfair to comment who was better between a band who released 1 album vs a band who released god knows how many. Both were good, well I enjoyed both of their music, however I still believe Nevermind the Bollocks was awesome.

Piss Me Off

No-one cares about the Rock n' Roll Hall Of Fame, i bet most of the brilliant bands out there aren't in it. Popularity can't be used as evidence to suggest that one band is better than the other.
