Ramones vs. The Clash (lyrics, punk, favorite band, The Ramones, sex pistols)

I am going to have to go for the Ramones. I am not saying they were the most original of bands but I prefer them (and I saw them perform live as a kid in the 90s so I am a bit biased I guess) and they knew how to pack alot of sound into three minutes.

I think the two bands in their own way were unique and it is overall hard to say which was better. If I had seen the Clash live as well, perhaps I might think differently. How a band performs/sounds live is usually the clincher.
