The Sex Pistols
Discussion
There's obviously the legendary gig of 1976, in which I think 800,000 people squeezed into a small venue in Manchester
Beyond that, I don't find their music as interesting as many of their peers and, perhaps wrongly, their legacy feels a little like they were carefully managed anti-pop-pop rather than a real shake-up. But I very much wasn't there.

Quite liked The bks though.
Not talentless by any stretch of the imagination....that's what they wanted you to believe.Quite liked The bks though.
So to correct myself.
Mildly talented, contrived made up boy band.

Fair enough, of the original line up Matlock, Jones and Cook were ok but hardly noteworthy. Rotten and Vicious however really were ste, musically at any rate. There is no doubt that Rotten has talent as an entertainer/frontman.

The Vicious debacle was laughable. So to correct myself.

I always laughed at the notion - mainly spread by Malcolm McLaren to anyone who'd listen - that they couldn't play. Utter tosh - give me a bunch of instruments and I'll show you what someone who can't play sounds like. Although I always preferred The Clash I still regularly play 'Never Mind' even today.
Matlock is a very talented tunesmith and Lydon was a great lyricist. Pretty Vacant still has a great intro even when listened to now and Holiday In The Sun still sounds fresh today, although the lyrics are dated. EMI is a great track too.
And God Save the Queen.."and there's no future in England's dreaming" is just a perfect line.
A far better band than they were ever given credit for.

How would he know? Punk is whatever you want it to be, the whole point was to do your own thing, not be told what to do or think by someone else.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38120496
