Because they wouldn't be real anarchists if they didn't sell their shirts at Hot Topic.

Has to be Johnny Rotten...but I would have seriously considered Howard Devoto if he was on the list.

This was a close one. I chose Ian But the late great Greg Sage comes in a VERY close second. Both of these guys are highly influencial and both make well thought out and intense music. Very close though.
