Re:Sex Pistols were a farce (Score 1)

Sure, their Johnny Thunders / Iggy / Lou Reed / NY Dolls / Ramones / Damned / take your pick -derivative two chord masterpieces hopefully turned people on to other bands that actually mattered. Yay, Pistols!

Me, I always felt like something was missing with them, even as a kid. Felt strangely empty after listening to NMTB, sort of like after an episode of King of Queens. Felt like I'd been had, somehow. Not so with say, Rocket to Russia, or (in my sXe period) The Crew. For me the Pistols weren't the first punk band I heard, that dubious honor goes to Johnny, Marky, DeeDee, and Joey.

Cos every star that shines in the back of your mind is just waitin' for his cover to be blown
