Never Mind the Bollocks is massive to me, so **** you. And while the Sex Pistols might have been manufactured by the time Sid Vicious joined, they were a legit band when Glen Matlock was bassist. He wrote all but two of the songs on the debut, and for the most part they were the best part of the Sex Pistols.
The Sex Pistols might have been taking fashion cues from Malcolm McLaren, and he might have put Johnny Rotten as vocalist, but he didn't write those songs (which I love) and he didn't make Johnny Rotten into the vocalist that he became.
However much influence McLaren may have had on the Sex Pistols, they were still a fantastic band.
