In my opinion the Sex Pistols were one of the most overrated bands of all time in respect to their musical ability however what they did for their genre is a different story. I can't think of any band in history thats put out only one album of original music and had such a profound influence on generations to come. The truth of the matter is that a man named Malcom McClaren put the Pistols together after visiting the states and seeing bands like the Ramones and the Stooges perform. For the Sex Pistols to have the title of the "first punk band" makes me laugh out loud. - Ramones all the way.
