About the Sex Pistols
Kid Modernist:
Man, the Sex Pistols weren't supposed to be talented. They were supposed to rock. I can understand if people don't like them for that, I'm just trying to say why I do.
La Creme:
Good rock requires talent.
Listen to ELP sometime.
Inlander:
My main problem with the Sex Pistols is that they were such fucking nihilists. At least the Clash were about trying to improve society (even if they were a bit uncertain how to go about it); the Pistols were about destroying society. I think that's an untenable position. Some of their songs were all right, but Jesus their attitude gives me the shits.
Schmung:
They were young, fucked up and succesful, by no means musically gifted, but entertaining at times. They shocked people and did a bloody good job, musically, not great, but as a musical phenomenon it was very powerful. ER, yeah, thats it.

Where's the "they were corporate shills" option?
