Their music is also extremely not for me but who cares

I also know a couple of fans who are pretty cool
Fair enough - I like Steely Dan, I wouldn't say I love them, but I enjoy their music. It's not a pretentious thing with me (usually) - I like some music, I dislike other music, for various reasons. Unlike Walter White:



Per the thread question, I guess the Ramones are overall probably a better band - they've got a better catalog and had more longevity. But if I had to choose between living in a world where one or the other didn't exist, I'd probably keep the Pistols, just for the massive amount of influence they've had on other bands.
