BTW, for the record, I still have not voted yet. But between the two, I just may go for The Ramones, but I can't say they invented Punk either...just the confirmation that someone understood Raw Power in a time when the industry was trying to get rid of it. That first album alone tops Never Mind the Bollocks for it's buzzsaw guitars alone. The Sex Pistols were great, don't get me wrong, but without John Lydon (or, later Sid), they would have been a kick ass Pub Rock band. Now if it were a match between The Ramones and THE DAMNED, then it would be the never ending decision.
