The New York Dolls vs. The Ramones: Who wins?

[Laughing Boy]

Any criteria you like: Capacity for violence, unexpected political sympathies, capacity for sulphate ingestion, faux dumbness, tunesmithery, uberpunkery, cartoonishness, whatever.

WHO WINS?

 

[jelloman]

The Ramones...morning, noon, night...

 

[OGG]

I win.

Due to the fact that neither band still exists.


That's right, I said it.


David Johanssen is a bad mofo though, I'll concede that much.

 

[Jeremy]

The Ramones. Hands down.

 

[Mark Wein]

I'd be more afraid of the Dolls myself, so I guess they'd win.

 

[godsky]

ARGH!
Tough choice, but i'm gonna go with the dolls.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

why is this even a question? even David Johansen would agree:

 

[Laughing Boy]

I won't lie to you, I'm all about Les Dolls.

"Say it ain't so."

No, really.

 

[Denverdave]

The NY Dolls were hugely influential, but the Ramones still get the edge on longevity.

 

[Jeremy]

why is this even a question?

I wondered that, too.

 

[BoomBoomBigelow]

Los Ramones. Always.

 

[Phil513]

The Stooges.



Oh, wait. . .

 

[frunobulax]

[Jeremy]

The Stooges.



Oh, wait. . .

I'll be seeing Iggy & Co next weekend. I'm pretty stoked!

 

[Phil513]

I'll be seeing Iggy & Co next weekend. I'm pretty stoked!

That's gonna be awesome. Lubs Iggy.

 

[Kerouac]

Rock 'n roll IS The Ramones.

 

[angry tele]

[Jeremy]

That's gonna be awesome. Lubs Iggy.

The whole day will be great, but that's definitely the set I'm most looking forward to!
