this was released in 1977 during the Queen's Silver Jubilee celebrations. It got to number 1 in the charts but was banned by the establishment so wasn't played on national tv or radio. 'No future for you' is what was told to the lead singer when he was at school. What. A. Song!
Despite all the Sex Pistols attention focussed on the anger, attitude, and aesthetic of the band, people sometimes forget they wrote some really good songs that stand up just as songs, regardless of the rest. For me, the 70s era of punk was the best, because the songs had rock melody with a large helping of grit. Hardcore punk, that came later, had more grit, but less melody.
When In 1976 on wnew in nyc I going to see bulls game and they play this Kraft work and I never heard that type music and I was hocked There a couple songs blue cheer summer time blues and Dennis Coffey black Balt jones and mc5 kick up the jams
The worm had turned for someone else. Sex pistols put out one album. One tour. But somehow changed the music world. Back story is crazy. Biggest middle finger to authority EVER.
Hey Myles, not sure what you were listening to 40 years ago! most people filled their vacant minds with safe corporate manufactured record company nonsense. Don't get me wrong we partied too but, two songs to check out that were way ahead of their time in their accuracy, and day-by-day ever more relevant to the world in 2022. You'll be best with the on-screen lyric versions (UK accent thing lol) 1.'Bloody Revolutions' by Crass and 2.'Persons Unknown' by Poison Girls. Fascinated to hear your thoughts on both as many Americans now 'get it' and are not distracted by blind consumerism and 'look the other way-ism' !
