It has always been said that punk was a British thing. Can’t help noticing that the two bands in the lead in this poll are from the US.
That’s because some genius decided to include the Adverts and the Avengers instead of the Sex Pistols and the Clash, who would clearly have gathered more votes.
The reason why punk is considered more British than American is because of the popularity of the British vs American punk bands. The Sex Pistols had #2 singles in the charts and caused public outrage (Bill Grundy), whereas the Ramones never made it to that level of popularity in the States.

I’d like to intercede here and state that Joey Ramone has his own day. Last I checked there wasn’t a Sid Vicious day in Britian :)

Why should there be a Sid Vicious day? I can’t think of any reason.

Sid was accused of killing his ex-gf and a blatantly obvious heroin addict. I don’t think people want a Sid Viscious Day anywhere, let alone Britain. They’ve got streets named after the Ramones too, but the Sex Pistols’ fame (infamy?) was still greater at home than the Ramones’ fame was in the States.

Yeah, Alright. I know it’s a big failure The Sex Pistols are missing. I don’t know what I was thinking of when writing down the names. But I do find Avengers and Dead Kennedys (not to forget) more interresting than the pistols.
But that’s my personal taste of music…
As I wrote some days ago - then let’s have another poll with the forgotten 300 :-)
