The best punk band ever!! The main inspiration for The Buzzcocks and The Clash. The most influential band in British punk history. The first band to define punk. I love 'em don't you?
The Clash and the Pistols and the Damned were all a part of the same scene. As far as I know, the Ramones preceded them, which persuades me to give them props for "defining" punk. I know Joe Strummer has said he learned a lot from watching and listening to the Ramones.
Of course, if we want to play the whole "who came first" game, we'd go back to the Stooges, etc.
I'd have to say the Damned are my favorite British punk band. But Never Mind the Bollocks is a kick ass album for sure. My favorite tracks are Problems and New York.
