Sex Pistols vs. Ramones
 

Who do you punkers out there think is better?

It's probably not fair to me to vote, because I don't know either of their music well enough. However, what I've heard of the Sex Pistols has been really good.

Sex Pistols is what got me into punk music, I just wish I was born about 15 years earlier maybe I could have went to a show....

From what ive heard from each of them, I have to say the Ramones

It has to be the Pistols.Listen to tunes like substitute,did you no wrong,sattelite,stepping stone,don't gimmie no lip child.These tracks are raw punk at its greatest.Unlike todays bands the original punks were seen as a threat to society.The pistols spearheaded the punk scene globaly and in my opinion have never been bettered

The Ramones are so much better it's just ridiculous beyond all belief.

Oh well that's a fact then! How did you come to that conclusion may i ask?

Because the Sex Pistols were ******* sellout drug addicts who did **** all to promote the punk scene and were doing what they did solely so they could support their next fix.

Not saying the Ramones weren't a bunch of glue sniffing dummies, but they weren't put together by some label dude with deep pockets.

You poor misguided fool.The music industry is rife with drugs,nearly every major music star you care too mention has had a substance abuse issue.From Elvis to Hendrix to Aerosmith to Whitney Houston.The fact that Sid Viscous was a herion addict doesn't mean the rest were.

The fact that the Pistols were formed before Malcom Mclaren (granted they didn't have a singer) seems to of escaped you to.Maclaren was no 'Dude with deep pockets' far from it he was eeking out a living in his clothes shop.

Any band that you listen to has been 'funded' one way or another as an investment to someone,normally a record company.


So tell me what bands you like that aren't drug taking,bank rolled w*****s?

I don't like either of them. Sex Pistols because of what ol'e Jack said up there (sorry twotone, you're wrong) and the Ramones just because I don't like what they sould like. If i had to pick I would say Ramones just because they did do respectable things in the industry. Just my opinion.
