There would be no Clash if it weren't for The Sex Pistols. Remember, they came out when Disco was still the rage. They were PUNK.

Exactly what is either enshrinement or participation with the RnRHOF going to do? Unlike a sports HOF, where a lot of "greats" will be forgotten unless they get into the HOF, they're still selling records, people still know the music, they have done well attended tours. The HOF is mostly for the fans- I'm not saying the artists don't appreciate the honor, but it really does them no great favors to be enshrined- other than to say "I'm in the RnRHOF."

| | | | Yeah... I read-up on this Sex Pistol/HOF thing yesterday. Oh well, at least they are remaining true to character... can something be said for consistency here? |

So I would say that the Ramones influenced the beginnings of the Clash more...
Also - the Damed were the first to get a Punk single out - long before the Pistols!

Did/are they touring? I honestly haven't heard any musical output from the SP since Sid died.  I thought they've stuck to their guns as far as "we're done" goes.

Glen Matlock the original bass player wrote most of those songs anyway - before being kicked out ...Sid was never crucial to the band anyway...

I thought the Damned and the Sex Pistols were out before the Clash?
Good point on Ramones influence.
