The Sex Pistols, although I like PIL's music, ecspecially with Jah Wobble on bass, I find that Lydon just doesn't have enough of a vocal range to keep things interesting for the style of music he's going for.

MB is such a wealth of information and informed opinions. I love this place more than words can express.

I like PiL better. I've even listened to both bands!

I also have on vinyl "Jah Wobble's Bedroom Album" because he actually recorded it in his bedroom. Pretty good. Don't know if it's on CD or mp3.

PiL songs annoy me... I like the brashness of the Sex Pistols more.

I put it on the same level as First Issue and Metal Box since my preference shifts between those three so often. First Issue has a lot of nostalgia for me.

Lol classic. Poptones is one of their best tracks imo.

PiL are awesome but the Sex Pistols are extra sick.

I voted pistols because I've never actually listened to PIL.

I'm not a huge Pistols fan, Clash, Ramones, and the Damned please.
