Tough one, kinda, but have to go PiL. I just prefer the musicians and how they weren't manufactured by that point... but I find both their styles equally enjoyable. I just feel this is what Lydon had his hand in more.

Is it normal that I find Metal Box a really good album to go to sleep to? Not that I dislike it - I love it, and enjoy it awake... I just find "Poptones" and "Albatross" extremely soothing.

Well Never mind the bolloks is what got me into punk (although I now detest the Sex Pistols) but I have more respect for PiL because they seem like an actual band to me, whereas the Pistols were more of a gimmic IMO.

i feel just listening to the song Public Image off First Issue once will sell anybody on PiL....such a great song...one of my all time favorite bass lines

i love the album Never mind The bollocks....it has its place....but i just feel the PiL offered so much more....plus its hard to compare a band with 1 studio album to one with to one with 8 or so that spanned over a decade....if the sex pistols had stayed together....whose to say what their style and sound may have morphed into
