They reminded us that Rock and Roll didn't have to be pretentiously deep, that it could be fun again....and slightly dangerous. That's what was truly great about The Great Rock n Roll Swindle that was the Sex Pistols. I was reminded of this after a brief conversation I had with a co-worker today (okay, actually she's my boss).
The Sex Pistols are only slightly less responsible for Rock N Roll's return to the masses than The Ramones (and maybe Screeching Weasel). They almost single handedly returned us from the musical wasteland known as Prog Rock and the tedium known as the Grateful Dead.
Too bad it had to end. In the eternal words of John Lydon, "Ever feel like you've been cheated?". Indeed.
Thank You, boys.
