Oh hells naw! The Sex Pistols may not have been the best actual song writers in the history of music, but they were still amazing. The tension between Glenn Matlock's (**** Sid Vicious, the band was a parody when he joined) pop revivalist writing style with the sheer chaotic way they played and Johnny Rotten's non-singing and nihilistic lyrics was brilliant. They were right at the tipping point between redeeming rock and roll and killing it and I love them for it.
