The Damned were better and have a further reaching and more lasting influence, but they were nowhere near as big as The Sex Pistols.
The Sex Pistols were THE big watershed moment for punk rock as a major force in popular culture and sure their music was only part of the reason why, their image, their publicity stunts and Sid Vicious being Sid Vicious were all major contributing factors to their lasting legacy.
But putting all of that aside they still have one really good if overhyped album to their name so there's that.
