The Sex Pistols, whether you like it or not, is the first boys band. A pure creation from manager Malcolm McLaren.
Same for Johnny Rotten. He had never sang. He was walking down the street when they asked him if he'd be interested in singing in a band.
True story.

All of us older punks see them as pop punk crap, its only scensters/wannabes who think the Sex Pistols are great... the MC5 was more punk than sex pistols ever be. Sex Pistols were about the look and fashion, nothing about being a real punk at all.
