GG was certainly better at it then Sid. Also he was a better musician in his prime which really isn't saying much. I could at the least appreciate some Jabbers songs.

The only reason Sid got attention was because of his image.

Back in the late 70s punk was mostly about image, as far as the general public were concerned.

Yea, I understand, but Sid Vicious was iconic. Influentially even, because of his image. I'm not sure of any other that matched such as a sole character of punk.

Every other way he sucked though. The message may have been "we can suck technically and still be music." But he even sucked at sucking.

And that was in some way due to McLaren and Westwood.

But that's not the point I was making. The point was image was everything as far as punk was concerned back then and Sid Vicious was the perfect example of that. When I was school he was the most famous punk around and he'd already been dead for a couple of years.

I only like PIL's "Second Edition" and "Flowers of Romance". There was a live one recorded in France. I have that on vinyl which is good. As for the Pistols, I only liked "Never Mind" so I guess I go for PIL.
