Many people find the Sex Pistols to be a bunch of untalented boys trying to create a stir and get themselves noticed. This, ladies and gentlemen, is not true at all. The Pistols had a level of sophistication that is uneasily noticed but puts them above many other punk bands. Lots of people may think that groups like the Clash may be more sophisticated because of their diversity in musical influence, but the pistols still had something more. Who struck the flint that sparked the nihilism in music in years to come? I believe that the pistols beat the clash, slf, etc. to the punch. Most importantly, this album, Nevermind the Bollocks, was in ways partly responsible for killing disco. The two obvious gems "God Save The Queen" and "Anarchy in the U.K." are put at very high esteem compared to their other songs. I think that other songs are worthy of note too. "EMI" is catchy, "No Feelings" is a funny energetic piece, "Pretty Vacant" is a Pistols' "Blank Generation", and there are many other high points to this album. High points other than #6 and #8. Nevermind The Bollocks bitcchslapped the saturday night fever freaks into line and set a nihilistic stage for future bands.More "Never Mind. The Bollocks ..." reviews:
