I just think they were all style and their music was lame. No offense if you like them.

Their music being lame was cool and insipring to the clash and countless other bands, musicly they were not that good but lyricly they or John Lydon was brillant. Style well...i don't know what to say about that

They were great lyrically, perhaps I went too far in saying I hated them.

I hate them, and I don't think I'm going to far. I don't give a rat's ass if they were influential. Their music still sucked, in my opinion.

Don't mind if you like them though. Everyone has a different taste.

The Sex Pistols are just some 70s BS somebody dug up to market as "punk" so elitists could feel good about themselves.

The Sex Pistols fanboys really need to stop overstating the Sex Pistols importance.
