Whether you like them or not isn't relevent when considering whether or not they were punk. Personally, I'm not a huge fan, but I give credit where it's due. They were essentially the epitome of 'punk'.
They were an aggresive, but crappy, rock band from England that blew up because people were sick of disco. They made a lasting impression on music in general and if they never existed, music would probably sound pretty different right now.

Yes, Sid didn't have any musicial talent. Sid was just a face on stage, a filler. But even over time Sid wanted too get better and by the end of the American Tour he learned all the songs.
But for the rest of the band, they all had talent. Just because you can't sing, drum, or play guitar the proper way doesn't mean you have no talent. Like I said before "They couldn't write songs or record a album that changed Rock n Roll histroy if they didn't have any".
What Sex Pistols fans have you talked too? I agrue that REAL fans would stick up for them and say they had talent. And no, I am not a huge fan.
People were sick of Disco? Thats why the Sex pistol blew up? The Disco era was 1977-1980. Disco was nothing when Punk started. The Sex Pistols blew up in 1976.... so how can people be sick of a type of music that wasn't even massive yet?
Get your facts straight.

:eek: The Clash is the Beatles of classic Punk. The Clash is nothing less than fucking amazing. THEY have A LOT of talent. Joe & Micks guitar riffs are awesome. I have never heard two guitar players play off each as good as them.... besides Fugazi. The Clash is more creative, has poetry than any other classic punk band.
