I can remember how a number of my favourite American bands back in the late 70s and early 80s weren't at all initially that well known in the USA, but a couple of years later they were. Had it not been for the Sex Pistols and the UK punk scene, I don't think punk would've ever taken off. I don't think a number of the younger members here, are really that aware of the impact that the Sex Pistols had on UK society in the late 1970s and I've seen some silly comments as well labelling them a boy band! The Sex Pistols were about as unfriendly and anti-social as music ever got in the UK in the late 1970s.

There wasn't a trend in New York, it was just a handful of bands who'd been playing the same couple of clubs since the early 70s and getting more or less nowhere.

Well if that's what you mean I'm actually glad that the UK is more open to trends and new stuff.
Look at grunge in the U.S. you were still getting sh*tty Pearl Jam imitators over 15 years after they first came out. Britpop came and went in the space of 3 years. Madchester not even 2 years. Hell the Shoegaze thing in the early 90s ended before most of those bands even cut their 2nd album. Even punk was considered dead and old hat by 1979. Which is fine by me, the cream of a scene rises to the top, the also rans fade away and the next thing comes along to keep things interesting and vibrant. I see nothing wrong with it.

What I can say is that both bands are quite good in a different way (I dislike completely the successors to the Sex Pistols though).
From what I know the Sex Pistols were quite influential on the punk scene as a whole. I enjoy their music, it is really innovative. Also, they got involved with a number of politics-related issues. I guess they caught the spirit of the times. |

The Ramones are better than the Sex Pistols.
Cheery pop songs about girls and having fun > nihilistic self destructive crap. At least in songs.
