What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

SEX PISTOLS "never mind the bollocks,here's the...." vinyl,cassette,cd, 1977.

oh yeh!, this is what im talking about baby!....REAL kickarse "punk", none of that stupid psuedo crap they call punk nowadays..ie: sum41,good charlotte etc etc...!, this is the real mccoy!
punchy, aggressive, rough-edged rock and roll where almost every track kicks the butt of just about everything else ever recorded IMO....
these guys werent great musicians by any means, but they knew their limitations and excelled at whet they did...
contains "anarchy iin the UK", "god save the queen" and "holidays in the sun", plus at least six other tracks of equal class...
this was the group's only studio album, and ranks alongside The Clash's debut set for me as the greatest punk albums of all time...mind you, REAL punk only lasted about a year, but it changed the whole musical landscape of that time forever, much the same as 1956 Elvis Presley changed music and 1967 Beatles also!

interesting to note that 1977 was the Queen's silver jubilee year as head of state in the UK, the Pistols released "god save the queen" as a single, it debuted at #2 on the UK charts, next week it was not in the charts, then the following week it was back in at #2 again...why is that you may ask?, well, it actually went from #2 to #1 then back to #2 again, but the prim and proper BBC decided that it could not allow a song such as that to be on top of the charts...!
