Sid Vicious wasn't the Sex Pistol's singer.

Ah...you don't understand punk. You could have just said that to start with. Sid didn't sing.:|

I always thought ofthe Ramones as 60s pop played very loud and very fast....

I find that funny too.

Blink 182 was a joke, and not even a funny one. :|

Same here. I've to say most modern punk sounds the same between each other. Take Simple Plan and Blink182. They don't have their own identity.

Yes, they released their debut last year.

The Sex Pistols were the 70's equivalent of N'Sync. They were formed as an image by a producer to help start a new "sound". They are not punk.

For me, the best punk band ever has to be The Misfits.

I still think they made some OK music with Graves and the other "guest vocalists" but Jerry Only is pretty much Norman Bates with this thing now, it's creepy.

Scienceblows

I can't pick one.

For me it's between Dead Kennedys, Misfits (Danzig era), The Dwarves and if we're venturing into the dreaded pop punk...The only pop punk band I ever liked...The Descendents.

So any punk fans....check out The Breakouts. Local (ish) punk band. These guys are good.

Somewhat misleading...the music was their own...and they were punk.

Except that unlike N'sync, the Sex Pistols wrote their own songs....

Stiff Little Fingers all the way.

or

The Misfits.

but ofcourse The Clash.

PickGlove243

Yes...and they had the basis of the band before they met McLaren. He used them to sell merchandize....but had nothing to do with the music itself. He was a bit of a determent to the band as well.

Operation Ivy

Misfits

and the Unseen

i like The Transplants alot but there not punk there more of a mix of everything

I never said their music wasn't their own, but most people see punk as an image, and as far as punk images go, theirs was mostly superficial. I have their album, I know the words to the songs, I like the Pistols, but I don't share the same respect for them "starting punk" as a lot of folks do, that's all.

Apparently, they talk about this in their documentary, but I haven't seen it.

Comparing them to NSYNC is a bit much though. :( I don't know if theirs image was superficial or not...Rotten was definitely a jerk....and the other guys a bit socially inept.I believe what they said they meant. The Pistols were important to punk catching on...no publicity like bad publicity and this definitely helped the genre. They influenced other individuals to form bands and some of those bands are talented.
