The Ramones and The Sex Pistols.
Some say that one band was inspired by the other and vise-versa. There was also an extreme preference of one band to the other. The Ramones had stronger melodic inclinations than the Sex Pistols, but the Sex Pistols had a much more raw sound, and their lyrics were political favoring anarchy and other movements.
Here are a couple of links relating to each band:

Look through the wikipedia pages, but also try and do some research on your own about what social issues were occuring in the U.K. as well as the USA and answer the following questions:
1.) What social and political issues were occurring in England and the U.K. that were not happening in The United States?
2.) What issues did both bands have to deal with in their countries?
3.) Did they address these issues in their music?
4.) After having listened to each band, which do you prefer? Do you have a preference? If so, why do you like one over the other? Give musical reasons why you do or do not like either band.
BONUS: What club were The Ramones famous for having one of their first shows?
