Try listening to the original version by the Sex Pistols and you`ll see why.

I know all about the Sex Pistols. Never Mind the Bollocks is one of my all time fav records. I think that Megadeth did an excellent cover. It perfectly channels the anger of the original while throwing in about twice as much aggression.

Really!!! I thought it sounded rather tame compared to the version by the Sex Pistols. Also singing "Anarchy in the USA" doesn`t quite have the same ring to it.

Mustaine's biggest flaw is that he's a victim to his own cheesyness. When he's amazing(Peace Sells, Holy Wars, Hanger 18, Sweating Bullets) He's utterly brilliant but he has so many stinkers(502, Anything on Risk, Pretty much most of his covers) due to the fact he didn't really stay focused on his material.

Megadeth could by far be the best band on the list if it weren't for this fact.
