It's still superior to anything Public Image recorded

>>69264002
Yes. It's pretty simple. The music biz was pretty staid and formulative in the late '70s. Prog rock and the California sound were in full swing. The Pistols came along and shook up the music industry and British society in general like a rabid pitbull. They put music back firmly where it belonged: back in the hands of kids and not millionaire long haired elitists who played double necked guitars. That's why.

Plus it's a great fucking album that has stood the test of time magnificently.

fuck DK though

>>69264002
i always thought of punk as being a more cultural thing, where it's better to see live and be apart of the scene.

>>69264002
Everyone that isn't a dad punk knows that The Sex Pistols are shit. They're not even the best punk band from London, let alone of all-time.

>>69264082

Most incorrect statement ever posted on the internet.

>considered the most influential punk band ever
says who?

You need to understand how really crap the fore-runners of punk actually were to understand its relevance to theereslutty burds that look like toyah wilcox. Also overlooked is that skinhead was really popular but wasn't going to sell in woolworths, it's a combination of the two

And football

>>69264117
Says anyone with an ounce of education and sense. That's who.

>>69264092
X is rubbish

>>69264095
There were far better punk/new wave bands around in the same era though, particularly in the UK.

The Clash, The Jam, Police, Specials to name a few.

>>69264140
>>69264002
He's telling the truth look, there was loads of that wash out denimin and proper boots, they didn't half look scary, and people were scared.

Punks were the macaroons really, effiminate and poofy

>>69264092
What's wrong with Dead Kennedys?

>>69264189
i dont disagree with you, i cant stand the sex pistols

>>69264002
>Released one album
No they released THREE even though one of them is just a live version of Bollocks. (Filthy Lucre) Why doesn't anybody remember The Great Rock and Roll Swindle?

>>69264092
Thanks for sharing the videos but DKs were from San Francisco NOT L.A.

>>69264082
The first PIL album is what The Sex Pistols were SUPPOSED to sound like according to Messrs Lydon. Probably the ONLY good album they put out IMHO.

>>69264189
The Clash turned to shit after Give 'em Enough Rope in my opinion. And The Jam and The Specials weren't punk although they were accepted by punks. The Jam were hard edged power pop while The Specials were Ska revival. Good bands though. I enjoy them. But nobody remembers Eater or 999. Shame really.

>>69264469
>Why doesn't anybody remember The Great Rock and Roll Swindle?
Because it was put together by McLaren to milk it to death. Lydon was gone. Sid Vicious was busy doing heroin and I think only original bassist Matlock was involved.

Hardly a Sex Pistols album.

>>69264091
and only 5 years later rich long haired elitists with double necked guitars were just as big as before

>>69264082

>yet considered the most influential punk band ever.
By whom?

Crass is way bigger than Sex Pistol, in a canonical sense.

>>69264560
Are you unaware of Post Punk, New Wave, New Romantics, Hardcore, Deathrock and Goth???

Seriously?

>>69264082
Shit onion, kill yourself.

>>69264082
I'm a big Pistols fan and even I don't agree with this.

>>69264610
and? Glam Metal still became the dominating genre of rock in the 80s.

And that's worse than anything rock had done in the 70s.

>>69264469
Some of The Jam's earlier stuff could definitely be considered punk imo, even if they were wearing suits and smart shoes.

But I agree overall they were more alternative. Hell, by the time of their break-up they were near enough a northern soul band.

>>69264867
New wave and post punk were huge too. You forget about the likes if U2, Tears for Fears or INXS.

But you are right... Hair Metal was huge too. Especially with the ladies.

>>69264867
And don't forget hair metal took a lot from punk too especially with fashion and with the androgyny.

>>69264185
The're first two or three albums were great for the time. That something that most punk bands fail to do

>>69264592
Crass isn't punk, it's crusty bullshit

>>69265656
The only way that anyone could think that is if they had never listened to crust punk in their lives

Nobody actually into punk considers them influential, let alone good. Meet more punks, man.
