The British Punk Rock has in general not been very admired for its musical achievements, but I'm surely impressed by The Pistols album. What's your opinion about it?

A great album, I remember buying it at the time of it's release, and the word 'Bollocks' on the cover was covered with tape so as not to cause offence to the public.
 My favourite tracks are 'No Feelings' and 'Bodies'. I think I will give this album a spin now.

I never have minded the bollocks. I have liked it, especially "Anarchy in the UK" and "Pretty Vacant" as I recall. I used to have it on vinyl. It has been years since I last heard it in full. I had a political science professor who was a huge fan of it and adopted it for one of his lectures. That said, John Lydon's Public Image Ltd is much more significant to me.

I couldn't agree more. I've always hated Punk Rock and everything it stood for with vile angry youths banging bits of furniture together to make a horrendous racket. After all, it was punk that tried to destroy prog, but Punk Rock ending up in the dustbin of music history after barely three years, whereas Prog Rock is still going strong nearly half a century later. Vive La Prog, as we say in England.

On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education. And overcoming all frustration, a teacher I became.

The Wurzels were fans of The Sex Pistols.

It's brilliant. Holidays in the Sun is one of my favorite album openers in rock and the whole album is full of memorable riffs and melodies. Plus its got John Lydon's one of a kind sneering vocals.

I like the riffs and energy. In a way, anger is an energy.

I liked it, but it didn't impress me. I enjoyed The Ramones more. They came before the Pistols and had more humor in their music.

I like the Pistols, but I like early 80s hardcore more; Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains etc.

The British Punk Rock was not specifically anti-Prog but rejected all contemporary mainstream Rock, and especially the well-established part of it. Edited by David_D - December 10 2023 at 08:40 |

I love it. At the time it came out there was a bit of a crossover between Heavy Metal and Punk fans in my home town. You were in one group or other obviously but albums like this appealed to both sides; and with other albums too - e.g. Motorhead.

I don't even think, it was meant just like that by Malcolm McLaren.
