Rock & Roll Feature: The Sex Pistols' Seminal Album Turns 30
Published October 02, 2007
If you've never been a fan of the Sex Pistols or have dismissed them for any reason, take another look. Even if you can't see these songs as in depth social comment, they're still great high energy rock and roll. If you're already a fan of the Sex Pistols, then join me this month and celebrate their 30th anniversary. I'll be celebrating by listening to this album as loudly as I can, often as I can.
The Sex Pistols are also reuniting for a few shows in the UK and one in LA as I wrote about earlier on the Soul of Rock 'n' Roll, and the single “God Save the Queen” is being re released for download and on 7in vinyl.

The Pistols were apparently more than just influential, or even ahead of their time - they might even have been prescient. There's no way they could have accepted admittance into the same RNRHOF knowing that Madonna would one day be there with them. Not knocking Maodnna, but you've gotta think that musically she's diametrically opposite to Mssrs. Rotten & Co.
Madonna: "Papa don't preach..."
Johnny Rotten: "I don' wan' a baby / that looks like that!"

There are maybe four notes by sid on the album. I think only the first couple singles have Glen on them the rest are just played by Steve Jones.
The VH1 Greatest Albums episode on the album is actually pretty brilliant
