Punk rock anthem The Sex Pistols' "God Save the Queen" was released angering the prim and proper of Brit society and exciting and energizing the youth. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

Great riff and the Pistols were much needed to break up the direction of 70s music. Or else we would be still hearing Loggins and Messina.
The Clash just as much. The Sex Pistols just got more play because they were so in everyone's face (in just the right way)

This is my favorite Sex Pistols song
Yeah, a stronger piece of music. Love that one. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

In hindsight, it is extraordinary how much came out of England in a short time. The Sex Pistols and the Clash, the new wave of British metal, Elvis Costello, Dire Straits. I’m forgetting a few more. The 1975 to 1978 window was remarkable.

The Police for one.
Yeah, the Pistols were small in their body of work and time together, but what an impact for that brief period. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

Love me some Sex Pistols (the songs were good), but McLaren's presence just make the band look like a publicity stunt. Sid Vicious was a (bleep) (bleep) who added nothing to the band.
Public Image Ltd. (specially the two first albums) was so much better.

Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, Magazine, Buzzcocks, The Pop Group, The Fall (RIP Mark E. Smith)... And if you're counting Ireland, U2.
I only recently, maybe 6 months prior to his death, became familiar with Mark E Smith, after watching PJ Harvey cover Janet, Johnny + James. He most certainly is not mainstream but deserved more attention here in the States. _________________ "A metronome keeps time by using a Ringo"

Who were the great American rock bands of the 70’s? Probably the best was the Allman Brothers. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.

And then probably more than half of all the splinter genres labeled under the umbrella "New Wave" in the MTV era were Brit.
