Influence and cultural legacy (vikifakinpedija) /quote
After the Sex Pistols appearance on the infamous Bill Grundy Today show, their story appeared on the front of every national newspaper the next day. The media later raved, "The Sex Pistols sold more papers on Fleet Street than the armistice."[79] Rolling Stone suggested the band, responding "to the star trappings and complacency" of mid-1970s rock, "came to spark and personify one of the few truly critical moments in pop culture—the rise of punk".[4] While they were not the first punk band, the Pistols' Never Mind the Bollocks is a singular achievement within the punk movement and an important event in the history of popular music in general. It is regularly cited on lists of the greatest albums ever: in 2006 the album was voted no. 27 in Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums Ever",[80] while Rolling Stone listed it at 2 in its 1987 "Top 100 Albums of the Last 20 Years".[81] In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked The Sex Pistols[82] #58 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.[83]
Their live performances were also influential. A significant show occurred early in their career on June 4, 1976, when they performed to a crowd of just 42 people at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester, England. It was to become one of the most important and mythologized events in rock history.[84] Among the audience were many who would later form bands or otherwise popularise the embryonic punk movement, including the Buzzcocks (who had organised the gig), Anthony H. Wilson (founder of Factory Records), Bernard Sumner, Ian Curtis and Peter Hook, Adam Ant, Morrissey, and Mick Hucknall.[85][86]
The Sex Pistols are remembered for communicating directly with their audiences. According to Lydon: "If we had an aim, it was to force our own, working-class opinions into the mainstream, which was unheard of in pop music at the time."[58] Whether the Pistols' anti-establishment stance was spontaneous or cultivated has been debated. One reviewer notes that "England's depressed social psyche at the time" was enough to generate a band like the Pistols and that Rotten's "fierce intelligence and astonishing onstage charisma" were important catalysts, but ultimately credits McLaren's history-minded manipulations as the real power behind the band.[87] Bands who have been influenced by the Sex Pistols include The Clash,[88] The Offspring,[89] Siouxsie & the Banshees,[90] Nirvana,[91][92] NOFX[93], Oasis,[42] The Fall,[94] Green Day,[95] Venom[96], and Guns N' Roses.[97]
In 1997, paleontologists Adrain and Edgecombe named a series of fossil trilobite species in honour of the Pistols' members: Arcticalymene rotteni, A. viciousi, A. jonesi, A. cooki and A. matlocki.[98][99] /end quote
nije li mnogo smješnije od koncerta seks pistolsa na egzitu, kao što vidim da je pojedinim članovima foruma urebesno smiješno, pojava onog hard-rok mastodonta prošle godine, ex led cepelin? kao što (ne) znate, seks pistols i cijeli pank pokret (prije njih), nastali su kao odgovor na učmalost hard-roka...
