Sex Pistols' 'Anarchy' most influential record of 1970s

The Sex Pistols' Anarchy In The UK has been named the most influential record of the 1970s.

Fresh from his stint on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, John Lydon has come out top in the poll by Q magazine.

It beat Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody and the Donna Summer disco classic I Feel Love in the list of the decade's landmark records.

Released in November 1976, Anarchy In The UK caused instant outrage, compounded by the punk rockers' infamous four-letter outburst on Bill Grundy's Today programme.

"The 1970s are often remembered for disco, flares and platforms," a Q spokesman said.

"The Sex Pistols unleashed themselves on an unsuspecting world, giving birth to a whole new musical movement which will continue to inspire musicians for generations to come."

Bohemian Rhapsody, which topped the charts in 1975, was second in the poll compiled for a Q magazine Seventies special.

Other records which made the top 10 included Get It On by T Rex, Paranoid by Black Sabbath, Gangsters by Special AKA, I'm Not In Love by 10cc, Autobahn by Kraftwerk, Le Freak by Chic and Blitzkrieg Bop by The Ramones.

god save the queen. :thumbsup

I love the Sex Pistols.

Did you see Joney Rotten on 'I'm a celebrity, get me out of hear'?

He was great.

I saw the Pistols at the Longhorn Ballroom in Dallas Tx

I think it was in 1977. Not sure to long ago.

ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

Ask Johnny what he meant by that

My cousin went to that show...I was just 11 and she got in trouble for showing us their records...LOL

I've got an autographed copy of the Handout for the movie Rude Boy. It has a Pic of one of the members of the Clash getting a blowjob in a bathroom stall on the cover. I think they were at
a place called the Bronco bowl somtime around 1980. It was a bowling alley with a small apitheater. Probably still there.


Lickmymonster

yeah and we found out today why he walked off the show and I support him fully on it.

It's a swindle:winkwink:

of the great rock and roll variety ;)

A great one at that!:thumbsup
heh, the Pistols "Nevemind the Bollocks" is one of only 2 albums I bought on vinyl, cassette and finally CD... the other one is the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack.

Some say his version of "My Way" was worse than Sinatra's.

I'm happy to see 10cc and Chic join the list. :thumbsup

you and I could be friends..I am a Rocky nut too :)

Okay, firstly I am pretty sure that is Sid not Rotten and secondly it was suppose to be bad.

I saw the Sex Pistols in 2002 at the KROQ Inland Invasion! They kicked ass. They were the headliners and place a great fucking set! Man, when Anarchy came on, their were fucking moshpits galaor and fires everywhere! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
