The Sex Pistols

Hello all,

So first off I want to apologize if I offended any people who like or play rock/punk/alternative music. Do not be dismayed by my insensitivity. The world of rock/punk/alternative music needs new bands all the time. Add you're own style to the music though. Maybe you will be the band who (in my eyes) saves these genres. Okay now that I'm done with that,  I'm going to do my random squeeze on the Sex Pistols. The Sex Pistols originally comprised vocalist Johnny Rotten, guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook and bassist Glen Matlock. Matlock was replaced by Sid Vicious in early 1977. The Sex Pistols were an English punk rock band that formed in London in 1975. They were responsible for initiating the punk movement in the United Kingdom and inspiring many later punk and alternative rock musicians. Although their initial career lasted just two-and-a-half years and produced only four singles and one studio album, Never mind the Bullocks, here's the Sex Pistols, they are regarded as one of the most influential acts in the history of popular music. In 1996, Rotten, Jones, Cook and Matlock reunited for the Filthy Lucre Tour. Now the truth is, earlier in life, they had a lot more rage. They had no idea what they were saying. It just sounded good. But it really really sounded good. Anarchy in the UK is one of my favorite songs. But on their recent tours, now that they're all old and wise, they realize that what they are singing about is almost laughable. That's why I prefer to listen to their old stuff, the originals. That's just my opinion, I don't know about you. So without further ado, here is Anarchy in the UK by the Sex Pistols.
