Definitely The Clash ‘cos they were a brilliant band and not a marketing product designed by Malcolm Mclaren

Gotta be The Clash. I mean, I like the pistols but they’re just better. Although I think SLF are better than that, as well as numerous others.

Clash by far. What did the Pistols ever really do? One real album, then the rock n roll swindle. Nothing much of worth.

I prefer Nevermind The Bollocks over the Clash’s debut album but overall The Clash were the better band they went on to create a huge body of work.

Clash. Definitly better. The could play, they had presence and the attitude. The pistols just told you to fuck off. The clash told you to fuck off and why. Much better.

The Damned are great. Following your line, my dear Misanthropologist, I’d say Crass!!!

I even prefer PIL to The Sex Pistols so for me it’s The Clash.

The Clash, Sex Pistols don’t come anywhere close. I have always felt they were a seriously overrated band.

One of the things i like about The Clash was their willingness to experiment with other genres of music and incorporate it into their sound plus they were great songwriters.

Pistols all the way. They might have only released one album, but that one album is to me better than the entire Clash catalogue.

Any band that records a song about being “all alone in the supermarket - I can no longer shop happily” deserves a slap in the face.

The Clash did have some good stuff though. “Guns of Brixton” is my fav tune.

Fun fact - one of my mates is auditioning for Mick Jones’ daughter’s band as a guitarist.

Well, you see, when you have contacts in the biz like myself this kind of stuff is commonplace :cool:

The audition is at a studio owned by Mick Jones himself. Yeeeeaaaaaah.

As far as I’m concerned,I would say The Clash.They made me love Punk-Rock music and have the same haircut as Joe Strummer had in 1982/1983 ( a “Mohican” haircut)when I was 16.I will always remember the reaction of my mother when I came back home from the hairdresser :D .
