Album Notes and Credits

Notes & Personnel Info
The Sex Pistols: Johnny Rotten (vocals); Steve Jones (guitar); Sid Vicious, Glen Matlock (bass); Paul Cook (drums).
Put this alongside BLONDE ON BLONDE and REVOLVER as an album that changed the face of rock forever. Along with the Clash and the Damned, the Sex Pistols were one of the first bands to channel the anger of dole-queue '70s Britain through a fierce musical amalgam of pub rock, the Stooges and the New York Dolls. Despite their influences, Johnny Rotten and company created something utterly unlike what had come before. Their anarchist/nihilist attitude, reflected in tunes like "Anarchy in the U.K." and "No Feelings" spoke to a new generation of kids, more profoundly disaffected than any other in the 20th century.
Rotten's snarling, distinctly British delivery of his agitational lyrics made Dylan sound like Mario Lanza, and the pile-driver guitars of Glen Matlock and Steve Jones move the songs along like a well-oiled but ornery machine. For all their iconoclasm, though, the Pistols were far more indebted to traditional pop song format (and dynamics) than most of the punk bands that followed in their wake. Consequently, for all their anger and urgency, such songs as "Submission" and "Pretty Vacant" enter the ear easily, only beginning to cause real internal damage once they get into your gut. One of the most essential rock albums of all time.

Producer: Chris Thomas; Bill Price

 
Artist Overview
Along with the Clash, the Sex Pistols gave birth to the U.K. punk movement that forever changed music the world over. Inspired by New Yorkers like the Ramones and the New York Dolls, the Pistols crafted a hard-hitting, primal sound whose blazing guitars, nihilistic lyrics, and emphasis on passion/anger over technique gave rise to a musical and cultural revolution in the late 1970s. Though punk wouldn't hit the mainstream in the U.S. until the '90s, the effects of punk and its musical children--post-punk and new wave--were felt worldwide, as the Pistols ran a stake through the heart of the prog-rock and soft-rock sounds that reigned in the mid-'70s.
