I heard the start of JV about the Sex Pistols single, and asking for thoughts. I couldn't be bothered to keep his show on long enough to hear any feedback but to me this was one of the best records ever Smile

What are your thoughts ?

I've never listened to it. Never liked the Pistols, I was into the Stranglers and The Jam in 1977.

I love some of the Pistols stuff, also Sham 69, Public Image, Rezzilos, Stanglers, the Jam ... all edgy stuff from the 70s.... Smile

My dad didn't like any of it though Sad

I'm not a fan of Punk, I thought and, still do that it was a lazy, noisy rebuttal to the often, well crafted, melodic, and thought provoking stuff that was Prog.

There is, of course, and exception. That for me was The Jam, Paul Weller at his best. Eton Rifles, London's Calling etc were too good to be punk.

I think God Save The Queen (pistols version) is the best rock single ever released. At the time I bought two copies, one to play to death and one to keep for posterity. I still have it - it has never been played!

I was very much into Genesis, Pink Floyd, Yes, King Crimson, ELP, etcat the time but quickly pretended not to like them once the Pistols hit the scene. I saw most of the punks in that era, but nothing beat the pistols for me. They were actually a great laugh onstage because the whole thing was very tongue in cheek.

Love the Sex Pistols-all their records are great especially God Save The Queen.

Stuart Maconie must be reading this thread - he played The Rezillos' "Destination Venus" this afternoon! Very Happy

If you EVER see a copy of God Save The Queen on the A&M label at a car boot

BUY IT IMMEDIATELY.

It was withdrawn practically immediately but about 100 copies do exist.

There is one on ebay...Current bid £5,900 YES nearly six grand for a seven inch single.

I have the Virgin label copy but not the A&M one.

DRAT and double drat!! Twisted Evil
