I like The Pistols as well, but think they get entirely to much credit. Plenty of other bands from that time and scene who seemed to be ignored who were doing great things. UK Subs, Anti-Nowhere League, The Vibrators and on and on. They were basically no more than a punk boy band assembled by Malcolm McLaren. Sid to me was just the poster boy for f*cked up youth who served no purpose other than to just be a bloodied face. Couldn't play, couldn't do anything.. Just added to the band to give them more danger. Do I think they are an awful band though, not at all. Just not one of the better ones.
I know many people also like Pink Floyd, but they do not do much for me either... Though I enjoy the pre-Darkside era, and especially "Piper....". I find "Darkside..." to be just average and "The Wall" to be one of the most over hyped albums ever. I think the songs work well in the context of the movie, with the visual accompaniments.. but as a stand alone album, to much filler and gets dull to me in a hurry.
