I'm with you on this one. I don't see how people consider this a classic or even find them meaningful to music history. Saw them live last year and it was just horrible. Rotten is nothing but a clown who's not even remotely funny (clowns are scary anyway).

eh, with the Sex Pistols, it was less about the music and more about the image of the band as punks, which honestly had an effect on the youth of that day and even youth of today.

so yeah, the cd is REALLY overhyped, but it's not that a bad album. honestly, it's got some good stuff there if you ask me.

I know what you're saying. Music wise I think there are other (punk) bands who had a larger impact in that time like The Clash and The Ramones. Malcolm McLaren thought out The Sex Pistols like a 90s boy band. They did have a huge big impact image wise.

Mindless **** rock with a lead singer that sounds worse than the old one.

Rush- 2112
I found it cheesy, but not in a good way.

Fleetwood Mac- Rumours
I found it on vinyl at a Goodwill. It's okay, but I fail to see what the hype was about.

Ramones- Self-titled
They are catchy, but after a while their songs tend to run together.

Sex Pistols- Nevermind the Bullocks
A lot of hype with little substance.

Do you have any sentences that haven't been repeated a billion times before?

yeah the way i see it

The Sex Pistols = the image
The Ramones = that "punk" sound
The Clash = the message in the music

I love the production work on the album, the variety of effects, techniques and instruments used. Its an awesome album with a 1 or 2 dodgey but fun tracks

Those are all attributes that were important for the Sex Pistols of you ask me. The image is obvious, while the Pistols were the first abrasive punk band to still be accessible and widely accepted so i'd argue they had the 'punk' sound down more than the Ramones did. As for a message, what better than 'fuck that, listen to this'. Some of it was obviously tongue in cheek but songs like Bodies showed they were more than just the manufactured band that they get ridiculed for being.

i agree that their music wasn't bad. it just wasn't as good as everyone seems to make it out to be.

well even if you look at it that way it was all part of the appeal of their music.

they weren't that good, and they still managed to galvanize a generation of punk rockers into folding the music industry upon itself. it was about being loud, raw and ugly, not good, and by that measure the Sex Pistols certainly excelled.

and then afterward John Lydon was involved in one of the most colossally influential groups of all time. certainly not a bad legacy by any means.
