Started punk..well that disqualifies the Clash but also you have to talk about which scene.

Anyway, they are three totally different groups. The Pistols took punk to the British masses and popularized an attitude and produced ONE very important album in the history of music. However, it would be hard to insane they are the 'best' of any type of group.

The Ramones were great fun and but if you are asking which is the best overall band of those three then it is The Clash because they produced the best overall songs to my ears and kept the British punk notion of politics being a part of punk and Joe kept that up until his death.

However, I still think the Buzzcocks in their prime were better than all three.
