PC,
I agree, Clash by a mile over the Ramones. Maybe it is just a New York thing and I am from LA, but the Ramones always seemed just sort of ok to me, but nothing special. Sonic Youth on the other hand, I think is one of the best bands in the past 25 years.

And The Jam were incredible. I know they started with punkish roots in '76 abd '77, but I usually think of them more as a mod band than punk. they were one of my favorite bands in high school, along with X, The Specials, etc.
