Both bands have had a major impact on punk rock. Both bands are good, too. But all in all, I have to say the Clash are the better band simply because they were more musically adventurous and interesting. The Sex Pistols raised the idea of social revolution in the UK punk scene but it was the Clash that moved people to do something about it. Plus, The Clash weren't as big of assholes as the Sex Pistols.
