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

Not really different, I'd say. They were also put together to sell clothes, and replaced their perfectly competent bassist with someone who was chosen more for his image.

I think, The Stooges were more of a spearhead, along with the MC5 (MI represent) and the Dead Boys as well, they were more like the Pistols, actually. According to the book Please Kill Me (I thin k it was) Patti Smith actually did the first ''punk'' show. All of the CBGBs crowd was a huuuuuuuuge influence on what was to become punk rock, and that did include the Ramones (along with other fantastic bands, such as Television, Blondie, and the Talking Heads).

Fun fact: The Clash were afraid of the Ramones when they came to England, they thought they'd beat them up.
