actually sid and john weren't that great of friends. john would have you believe otherwise, however.
anyway the pistols were shit compared to pil. as far as any "punk" coming out of england in the late 70s they were one of the best but what was happening in new york was so much more interesting and it didn't become a trend to dye your hair orange and rip your shirt on purpose, and television and patti smith weren't doing that. the dead boys and the voidoids were a bit more like the bands from england which is probably because the bands from england copied them. richard hell always annoyed me a little anyway but i do like the voidoids.
before i start to rant big time, quit being contrived and listening to what other people tell you. form your own opinions and listen to WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT.
