NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS HERES THE SEX PISTOLS
Too me probaly the greatest punk album thats ever been made now and than. The Sex Pistols were just one of those bands you dont come by too often and still dont come by bands like The Ramones and The Clash were punk too but The Sex Pistols took it a step further and were even arrested were playing the song, "God Save The Queen", in front of the queen of england. From the opening track, "Holidays in the Sun", to the ending track, "EMI", the album is non stop 3 minute fast punk songs and probaly the best song on the whole album, "Anarchy In The UK". Unfortunatly though this is the only studio Sex Pistols album that has ever been made partly due to the fact of tensions between the band and the death of the bands bass player Sid Vicious but The Sex Pistols were a band that werent meant too last that long and when they were around at there peak they were like no other punk band on the scene. Another album that you cant live without and get these songs today

Perhaps they were phonies, but we still listen to them
Only a few bands are as love/hate dividing as Sex Pistols. But more than 30 years later they are still discussed and listened to, so yeah, never mind the bollocks!

Yes, they came out of a mayor record label (today they are released by Virgin) and were intended to be commercial probably. But punk ain't that far removed from pop as some like to think. Ramones aimed at creating good, simple melodies without the phony pretensions that plagued music of the 70's, and Sex Pistols is just about the same.

There is hardly any politics in the album, which means it kinda stands the time easier. And today the tracks still packs an undeniable energy and a soul that is with no doubt purely British. This IS great rock.

PUNK
This is my favorite punk album. This is the only album the pistols ever released, it was released back in 1977. That is over 31 years ago and is not just my opinion but in general considered the best punk album ever made. but they are certainly not the most talented punk band, but they recieved the most attention in the U.K

God Save the "People who think The Dead Kennedy's are better"
I always get a kick when people are upset by the 1's a review gets, I also get a kick out of the people constantly spewingthe same non-sense from "Behind The Music" or what ever web article they read. Yes the Sex- Pistols were a manufactured group, However this is not entirely true, they weren't told to behave this way, they weren't given characters or roles to play. When McLaren saw this raw intent for self destruction he capitalized on it ,thats it. If you do any research on the guys you will find out he robbed them blind and wasn't until years later they got compensated. They acted wild and exhibited anti-social anarchist qualities because that who they were. And they could barely play there instruments, but that's what made them great, along with Glen Matlock's need to have a social relevance in his music. Bad Brains, Dead Kennedy's whatever what impact did they make outside of their local area, very little, so what a famous musican was a fan, thats all he was a fan, yet the world is so big and you strike out in the States. Its no excuse about limited air play, Dead Kennedy's and Bad Brains are the 2 fashion groups its cool like. Not very punk.

This is a great album from track to track. A classic its flawed which makes it perfect.

The record that changed it all
I just listened to this record again after I went to a Sex Pistols concert on the 4th of July, 2008 in Slovakia, of all places. It is still a great record after more than 30 years, although hearing them in concert singing about the Berlin Wall ("Holidays in the Sun") and their spat with their former record label ("EMI") did sound a bit dated today.
I think a lot of reviewers have it right when they call this the "album that changed everything". But I don't think most of them go far enough, because they seem to limit it to punk. Without the Sex Pistols, we would not have had New Wave, which within a few years turned into the industry mainstream. The Police? Not there (so no Sting either!). U2? No way. Duran Duran? Nope. The B-52s? Don't kid yourself. Devo? Forget it. The musical reality that we now know as the 1980s could not have happened without the Sex Pistols. They really did change everything. This isn't just the "greatest punk album of all time", which it actually may or may not be. It's the album that set the stage on which the musical background of the entire Reagan era was played. (Let's ignore "Thriller" and Stevie Nicks for a moment -- great as their achievements may be...)
If you want to understand the evolution of pop and rock music into what we have today, at a minimum you have to understand Elvis, the Beatles and the Sex Pistols. Those are the guys that came along and changed everything. (Number 4 is arguably Grandmaster Flash, but let's ignore that as well for now...) Enough from me -- just get it. This is one of the basics.
