I think they both were pretty samey and lacked variety but excelled in what they did. The thing that makes the Ramones stand out for me was their lack of pretense. They just wanted to have some kicks. The Sex Pistols... they got caught up with this whole bogus pseudo-ideology crap and yeah, they definitely had a lot to genuinely rebel against but it just never seemed to me like they meant it. Sincerity > Intrigue, for me anyways.
