See, I DO like the Pistols. I like them a lot. I love that era of British punk. However, I do know their story (My first husband was an old punk. So, if I didn't he made sure I found out.) and don't take them for more than what they were.

I disagree that Lydon didn't and doesn't have talent. It just is more in writing than singing. That said, I think his best project was (and is as they are reformed) PIL. PIL was ahead of its time and still sounds good.

Pistols are fine BUT even in the bell curve of Pistols talent, Sid was talentless. He was to them as Bez is to the Happy Mondays - a Mascot.
