I`d rather listen to The Damned than the Pistols anyday

i have a new found love for the buzz****s. but damned damned damned is just as good as nevermind the bollocks in my opinion.

i love the name of this thread.......:rofl:

For misfitspunk......The ramones was around before the sex pistols and the sex pistols were around before the damned. I voted for the sex pistols beens at the time they influence alot more punks than the the ramones, plus the pistols are tons better.

I'd much rather listen to the Buzzc*cks and the Damned over the Pistols or the Clash.

Lol your putting words into my mouth i said the ramones were around before any of them and i know the damned weren't around before the pistols cause their first gig was opening for the pistols..

EARLY PUNK SIGHTING!

"People try to put us down
Just because we get around
Things they do look awful cold
Yeah, I hope I die before I get old

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby"

Sounds pretty punk to me. 1965...

The Who, Stooges, New York Dolls: forefathers of punk
Ramones: when punk became punk
The Sex Pistols and Clash: don't count because neither were punk. The Clash were straight-up rock-and-roll with the occasional worldbeat influence, and the Sex Pistols were a boy band assembled by a fashion designer.

Biased opinion don't lie...

I say Iggy pop and the stooges,

MC5 were out before iggy and the stooges with kick out the jams though.
but i dont think either were really punk i think it was more proto punk like patti smith and the who and i dont think punk was really created with one band it was kinda evolved.Cause the ramones and clash and stuff were influenced by new york dolls and iggy and MC5.But they werent really punky and they were influenced by the who and such who were influenced by blues artist and so on and so on i think it was more of an evloution than anything.

yeah, It gets hard to see where one genre ends and another begins.
