Motorhead

Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Sex Pistols for me. I love that debut album, it reminds me of being in 4th grade and listening to Anarchy in the UK on the Tony Hawk 4 soundtrack. Johnny Rotten has always been an interesting figure to me as well, he says a lot I agree with and then he says a lot I don't. I just really like that album

I don't know if I've ever heard a Sex Pistols song other than "Anarchy in the UK," and that song is shit.  The Sex Pistols' "value" is entirely historical, and I don't really care about that.  Off the top of my head, I can only think of three Ramones songs ("Rock & Roll High School," "I Wanna Be Sedated" and that "hey ho let's go" song).  R&RHS was kind of amusing back in the day, but they're all pretty crappy.  Again, more of a historically significant band than one worth listening to.

I guess I'd pick the Ramones if I absolutely had to make a choice, but my real choice is neither.

Neither.

This.  I respect the fact that they influenced a TON of bands in a lot of different genres, but their music (and mostly punk in general) just isn't my interest and doesn't do much for me.

Sex Pistols I guess, but I'm much more of a punk revivalist.

I couldn't name a Ramones track and the only reason I know Sex Pistols is becasue of Megadeth.

So.............Megadeth  :)

TAC made the right call.  Thread over.

Though that first Sex Pistols record is better than it should be.  There's some good riffing on that.  The Ramones are a cute joke (though I love that song "We Want The Airwaves".)

Album soundwise? Pistols. Live though? Definetely Ramones.

I'm a fan of punk music but I don't even like either of these bands.  I picked Ramones though, their hits are better.

The Ramones were in the Simpsons, the Sex Pistols were not.
Must've been Kwyji sending all the wrong songs.   ;D
