Pros: Classic punk album... Cons: May be too abrasive for some people...
Punk has always been about saying whats on your mind without any concern about who is listening or what the consequences may be. Of course I am talking about real punk and not the watered down pretty boy punk that currently dominates ...

Pros: Straight-up, explosive, angry punk rock. Cons: Lyrics not for the sensitive.
Punk music. Its defined more by what it is not, than what it is. Even today, when the term punky is used to describe a song or band, its meant to convey a certain attitude about how the music is played, rather than the music itself. ...

Pros: Everything Cons: Nothing really.
Its really odd how I like music that was around so long before I was even born. Since I was born in 1989, I didnt get to enjoy The Bee Gees or The Beatles or any of those other good bands, but it was handed down to me through parents and ...

What I am about to tell you is a joke. Please dont take it seriously. July 21, 2056 15 Minutes Ago Reporter: The set of Hollywood Squares was engulfed in chaos today, when one of its participants, Gregory Harrell, better known to the ...

Pros: Click. Cons: Click.
Let's get right to the point, as the Sex Pistols would have done. This is music, played with speed, ...

Pros: The music is good! Cons: (Not really a con) It's much tamer than I expected.
(Disclaimer: Those looking for a brief description of the album will find what their looking for in the "Review Body" section. The section titled "Track Reviews" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the songs, and ...

Pros: The best punk rock album ever made. The fathers of alternative rock. Cons: Not everyone enjoys listening to punk.
This is the first and best punk album ever. Johnny Rotten, on vocals, Sid Vicious, on bass, Steve Jones, on guitar, and Paul Cook, pounding on the drums, made up this outrageous punk rock band. Their public acts, comments,and political views, made them...

Pros: When the songs are good,they are great Cons: When they are crap,they are woeful
1977 was a year in which many a great band would release an album,many of them debut records. Indeed, the year introduced the record world to The Clash,The Stranglers,The Damned,Generation X, and in one of the most famous instances, The Sex Pistols. ...

Pros: Steve Jones is a decent guitarist. Rotten is a memorable character. Major historical value. Cons: When it comes down to it, most of the songs are basically clones.
First off, let me say that I appreciate what the Sex Pistols were trying to do. Rock n' roll needed a good kick up its ass back in the 1970's, and they effectively hit the reset button that brought down the dinosaurs and made the world safe for ...

Pros: Hey! These boys are mad, and they'll tell you why. Cons: Too short...
This album showed up in 1977 to a music scene that was becoming stale and awful. Disco was getting weirdly popular, "soft rock" was all over the place and a lot of musicians were banging out junk that was "artful" and contained four-minute guitar solos....

Pros: some catchy songs, it's influence speaks volumes Cons: a lot of the songs, *ahem*, suck
So much has been written about the Sex Pistols that writing this review seems almost pointless. The average rating on this site speaks for itself. The influence this band has had on 3 generations of punks (late 70s, the 80s, and now the 90s into...

Pros: More than its share of classics for a 12 song recording, but... Cons: The remainder are just...there to take up space, and quickly get tedious.
The Sex Pistols.
Fear.
Or maybe not anymore. But once you should have. The original successful punk rockers, vomiting on the audience included. If you're into punk rock, I'll say here at the start here to save you some reading,...

Pros: Some of the best punk rock ever, Johnny Rotten's vocals Cons: None!
Starting Off
To start off, I'd just like to state some of my opinions on the famous Sex Pistols. First, these guys are unlike any other punk rock. They have crazy buzzsaw guitars, root bass, and then there's Johnny Rotten's vocals....

Pros: A lesson in deconstruction! Cons: Really only sound good during a riot!
I know to alotta folks my age and older, it's sacrilege to say, but musically, this really is one of the worst albums ever. Then again, that's what made it important. The Sex Pistols, contrary to to popular belief were neither the first nor the best ...

Pros: it's angry loud fightin' music Cons: the mayor of Ajax won't listen to me
I don't like the way things are being run in Ajax.
Every time I drive into the city I see a large green sign saying, "Welcome to Ajax! Population: 67 000." This is horribly inaccurate. My research shows that the population of Ajax...
