Sex Pistols are a pretty touchy subject among people who are serious about music (more serious than you, Mr. Coldplay). They were essentially assembled like boy band, by a marketing guy, and literally told to impersonate NY punk rock. For example, they were literally told to write their own version of the song "Blank Generation" by
Richard Hell and the Voidoids. The result is "Pretty Vacant."
I think they were good, but were far more hype than substance. And again, add in drug use and a guy killing his girlfriend and then OD'ing and you've got a recipe for immortality.
