I have been known to play "Anarchy" in my local, and the Pistols have always stood for controversy- even if there were far better bands at the time.

Great pity.

back in the early 80's Buffalo Girls and Double Dutch were massive tracks.

Can't say I can remember playing any of their stuff.
As for the man-nah.Definately not my cup of tea.



My apologies.I was mistaking him for the lead singer-Johnny Rotten.

I get asked a bit for ....my way by the sex pistols version on karaoke... fader on alert for the swear words !!!!

I'm a big, big fan of The Pistols. I was only seven or eight when they were making headlines so I didn't get into them until I was at college in the mid-80's. They made some great tracks and Never Mind the Bo:cense:ocks is one of my all-time favourite albums.

I never liked McLaren though. He came across as a right [insert expletive]. That said, he is responsible for the British punk scene so I guess I have to appreciate what he brought to the world.

For those that aren't aware - The Pistols were a manufactured band just like Steps, Take That and the Spice Girls. Malcolm was a marketing genius - he put them together because he wanted to make 'Cash from Chaos'. When Rotten left the band and their appeal faded, he put together a film entitled 'The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle'. Finally, he agreed to an album being released entitled 'Flogging a Dead Horse'.

Brilliant!
