Only a Canadian could make such a ridiculous statement.
To understand what the Pistols were about you had to be in the UK in 76, half the country on strike, rubbish piled high in the streets, poverty was rife, music was the glam rock era and so cliched and predictable. The Pistols were the antidote to safe mundane music and challenged what was sociably acceptable. They never claimed to be the best musicians/lyricists around, what they were however were an influence to many to pick up an instrument and have a go in a band.
