Sex Pistols vs Public Image Limited

PIL are far more interesting but both times I saw them were pretty poor live, whilst the Pistols were far better the times I've seen them.

Never saw this poll before. There's no denying how seminal the Pistols were. But PiL has a much wider and more interesting musical range.

Incapable of choosing. Yes, I'm more into postpunk than punk. Yes the early PIL is one of my favorite bands. But that one glorious album changed everything in the summer of 1977. Everything.
