'We're Sex Pistols, we ain't fake' John Lydon
Unabashedly crude, intensely emotional, calculated either to exhilarate or to offend, the Sex Pistols' music and attitude were in direct opposition to the star trappings and complacency that, by the mid-1970s, had rendered rock & roll irrelevant to the common bloke.
The Sex Pistols may have only been together for two years but they changed the face of popular music. Through their raw, nihilistic singles and violent performances, the band revolutionized the idea of what rock 'n' roll could be.
Whether The Sex Pistols were simply sophisticated hype or the true voice of a generation has been widely debated. However this argument neither matters nor explains how they came to spark one of the few truly critical moments in pop culture - the rise of punk.
