Rotten's snarling, distinctly British delivery of his agitational lyrics made Dylan sound like Mario Lanza, and the pile-driver guitars of Glen Matlock and Steve Jones move the songs along like a well-oiled but ornery machine. For all their iconoclasm, though, the Pistols were far more indebted to traditional pop song format (and dynamics) than most of the punk bands that followed in their wake. Consequently, for all their anger and urgency, such songs as "Submission" and "Pretty Vacant" enter the ear easily, only beginning to cause real internal damage once they get into your gut. One of the most essential rock albums of all time.
Put this alongside BLONDE ON BLONDE and REVOLVER as an album that changed the face of rock forever. Along with the Clash and the Damned, the Sex Pistols were one of the first bands to channel the anger of dole-queue '70s Britain through a fierce musical amalgam of pub rock, the Stooges and the New York Dolls. Despite their influences, Johnny Rotten and company created something utterly unlike what had come before. Their anarchist/nihilist attitude, reflected in tunes like "Anarchy in the U.K." and "No Feelings" spoke to a new generation of kids, more profoundly disaffected than any other in the 20th century.
The Sex Pistols: Johnny Rotten (vocals); Steve Jones (guitar); Sid Vicious, Glen Matlock (bass); Paul Cook (drums).

Any one who bad mouths the album and dismiss it as garbage is really dumb as it helped save rock. It has a lot of elemental passion and rebelion in it is what rock is all about.

this is 1 of the best rock records of all time.im only 14 and i got this LP for FREE from a friend and i have grown everyday to liking them and now,they're my favorite band.The whole album is good.Johnny is a excellent vocalist and Paul Cook is a excellent drummer and Steve Jones is 1 of Punks best guitarists.Sid Vicious(RIP) is my idol.a awesome LP if u like punk,buy this Lp cos its the true punk.The Clash are good,and so are The Ramones but this is the best punk band ever.i just wish this had the songs No Fun and Belsen Was A Gas.It's still worth hearing.There have been a lot of Cover Changes,i personally think this 1 is the best.I love The Sex Pistols.This is a definate mark of a excellent album in Rock history so if u like the Ramones,or The Clash,pick this cd up,and if you like Todays punk,buy this and discover what true punk is!

This is one of a few albums and artists that u could class as PUNK. Lets bring back more of THE RAMONES, THE CLASH and of couse THE SEX PISTOLS. Now this might sound harsh but most bands who try to be punk end up being what TODAY people call "EMO" i don't no where this stated and im sure must of u don't as well. So todays band can learn alot from these bands!!!!!!!!!
