    I will create thousands of alt-handles if that's what it takes to get Van Halen to the final four.

    The Damoans Cinderella run is over and now may they sink back into the fucking irrelevant abyss where they belonged all along.

    Should have been the Sex Pistols anyways. As much as Phil Spector and the wall of sound were revolutionary I've always found the Ramones to be one of the most boring punk bands musically. Tim & place matter though as we've established with other bands.

    Sex Pistols are hamstrung IMHO opinion by only having 1 album. There were a lot of artists who got in with only 2 or maybe 3 good records, but 1 LP ain't gonna cut it.

    Fair to make the ruling but 1 game changing album can be worth 20 "good" albums.

    Absolutely. However, I don't think Bollocks was anymore game changing than the first Ramones album. And then the Ramones went one to have 2 or 3 more truly great albums, Rocket to Russia being the best of them. Nor do I think Bollocks was more important historically than the first Clash record.

    People forget as well, that the Damned and not the Pistols were the first UK punk group to get an LP in the stores.
