The Ramones vs. The Sex Pistols

[huedell]

I don't think I wanna know what "relevant" really means.

I will say that I resent the SEX PISTOLS popularity mainly because I don't
really like their songs and they are hugely, highly regarded in rock/punk music circles.

I'm into catchy songs----much more than "attitude"
SEX PISTOLS don't even come close to the RAMONES in this regard.

I'm not really a punk guy...but I have realized my limitations over the years---
and, for lack of a better way of saying it---its turned me into a "punkesque" artist.

RAMONES are my biggest songwriting influence ----that I listen to the least.

But they are "relevant as heck" to ME all the same.

The SEX PISTOLS are just another noisy band with one or two songs I
think are pretty good. (Anarchy, as mentioned earlier in the thread, is one of them)

Forgot to credit this song to MOTORHEAD,

New York City, N.Y.C.,
Pretty mean when it wants to be,
Black leather, knee-hole pants,
Can't play no high school dance,
Fuzz tone, hear 'em go, hear 'em on the radio,

[Chorus:]
Misfits, twilight zone,
R-A-M-O-N-E-S, R-A-M-O-N-E-S
RAMONES,

Bad boy rock, bad boy roll,
Gabba gabba, see them go,
C. Jay now hit the gas,
Hear Marky kick some ***,
Go Johnny, go, go, go, go Tommy o-way-o,

Sid sang some,

Rotten was just as bad

Off the top of my head he only did a version of "My Way" which wasn't really on a "proper" record. The Sex Pistols' only "real" release was Never Mind The Bullocks, Sid had very little to do with it at all....

[palitoy]

Just in the same way I'd never pit my children against each other, can I not enter this debate.

[megoat]

And there are as many "relevant" British pioneering punk bands as there are American. It's about a tie.

Sid sang some,

Rotten was just as bad

[megoat]

And Steve Jones is a fantastic guitarist

At least Joey could SING

Sid was the worst singer EVER

Sid wasn't the singer.....

[Mikey]

At least Joey could SING

Sid was the worst singer EVER

[Zemo]

[Mikey]

The Ramones by a mile.

Oh, and the Ramones could actually play instruments as well.
