im not an expert on punk music, but as far as im concerned the sex pistols were what punk is all about- aggressive, anarchic edge sticking two fingers up at the establishment. i am in no way a sid vocious fan whatsoever and im not really a fan of the messages and ideals the sex pistols conveyed, but matlock had a lot of musical talent and his song writing was great and very apt for the time. lydon exuded rage and he alone could entice an audience. their songs were catchy and completely original- which is always good, and nevermind the bollocks is not only one of the greatest punk albums ever made- it is a quintessential investment for any music fan. personally i prefer the damned and the clash to them, that said, the pistols were cool
