Punk rock and the independent music scene have together been more important than any other cultural influences since the birth of electric music. |

Just grabbed the above quote from Steve to start this new thread, That comment sure brings back memories, I got a copy of Sex Pistols Never Mind the Bullocks when I was in elementary school, a highly subversive present from one of my moms friends ... |

The obvious problem being, that the Sex Pistols were that day's equivelent of what's become known as the "Boy Band," a creation of London producer/impressario Malcolm MacLaren. Fun? Hell yes. Subversive? How ironic. |

PS - I may be missing the obvious but, Ryan, why do you always get the name of the Sex Pistol's album wrong? . |

So for my not being around then, the sex pistols and the clash didn't seem to affect the legacy of the music I love today. |

I think the majority of people would remember "God Save the Queen" or "Pretty Vacant" before the likes of "New Rose" as the British Punk Sound. It's worth stating that the Sex Pistols as an entity under McClaren were as far from the Punk Ethic as Kelly Clarkson is. McClaren's impact is still felt today with bands like Babyshambles etc. |

You have no idea how influential both of those bands were. Just becasue you weren't around, doesn't mean they're irrelevant. I guess since you weren't around for the Beatles, they didn't affect the legacy of music either. |

You could say that Chris Thomas made the Sex Pistols sound more like a heavy metal band. |
