Sex Pistols vs Public Image Limited

Never Mind the Bollocks shoulda been NY Dolls' 2.5 album.

PIL makes my bro shout out that I only buy stuff nobody listens to.

Guess who I like.

Voted for The Pistols - One great album, classic singles that turned people's heads around, a very iconic singer who's way with words pointed the scene in a more interesting direction, a "Mis-Manager" who at least sparked some interesting ideas, and a wonderful sad slow dive without the visionary singer that includes Sid's destruction of "My Way" that tops all versions plus one of the best Cult films of all time that in a way announced the end of the Class of '76 with the immortal question "Who Killed Bambi?" - Cue 80's lawsuits, endless collections, bootlegs, and the expected reunion.

Their history is something one just can't make up!

PIL to me were three visionary albums, and the further occasionally interesting adventures of a Punk Icon, which would have won if it were not for the history of the Pistols.

sex pistols al the way.........

Public Image Limited, of course. Sex Pistols are okay, but PIL's music is far more interesting. Not to mention they were a leading factor in the development of post-rock.

Sex Pistols were opportunists, clever ones at that, but opportunists none the less. PIL actually sought to transgress convention and explore unchartered terrain. Cliche yada yada blah I know, but reason enough to, without hesitation, go for those post-punk munchkins...

Sex Pistols for me.

I wouldn't say the Sex Pistols were opportunists. I would say McLaren was.

Sex Pistols, quite alot of post-punk stuff that critics rave about I just don't get the fuss about at all.

I don't think any PIL albums were post-rock
