"Anarchy In The UK" remains the best Sex Pistols song, so that one is also the best on this generally extremely overrated album.

voted holidays, it's the only single that still sounds great, but have a great love of submission and bodies

I think I went three years once with solely the intro to "Submission" in my head.

Hmm, I woulda said "EMI" but for the rushed guitar solo - Jones should've thought up a "y" riff, so he coulda played "x/x/x/y" rather than "x/x/x/x". So I'll go with my favourite of the second-tier stuff, "Problems".

As album tracks, EMI, with New York a close second. I still think the first four singles are as strong a run as any UK act ever.

1. Pretty Vacant
2. Bodies

"holidays" just for the lyrics -- makes no sense at all by the third verse, but still scary.

'Pretty Vacant' (just pipping 'Anarchy in the UK').

as a high schooler, I found "Rock and Roll Swindle" to be a much more listenable, interesting, and quirky album. I couldn't even get into this one.

Went with "God Save the Queen" (obvious but epic) and instantly regretted it. And then didn't.

The intro to Pretty Vacant is pretty great, but I would never, like, listen to the Sex Pistols on purpose.

'I found "Rock and Roll Swindle" to be a much more listenable, interesting, and quirky album.'

Now, that IS an unusual opinion. Haven't listened to 'Swindle' for a VERY long time, be interested to have someone try and talk me into it.

The intro to Pretty Vacant is pretty great
xpost

It's a fabulous intro, worthy of early Who. Shame the rest of the song can't live up to it, I always feel

Some sketch comedy show used "Pretty Vacant" as the theme and kind of ruined it for me, but Pretty Vacant is the best.

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Thursday, 6 November 2008 21:20 (4 years ago) Permalink

I heard that the intro to pretty vacant was cribbed from ABBA... something about sid being an insatiable abba fan.
does this ruin it more for you than being the intro for that show with the brother of one of the kids in the hall where everyone's all like in a wind tunnel?
