Pop Punk / What is all the fuss about the Sex Pistols?

« on: July 18, 2009, 10:24:01 AM »

My knowledge of punk is limited I will admit. However, from what I have heard and read about the Sex Pistols, they seem a bit overrated. I hope this is not considered blasphemy or anything. The music is ok, but is it also true that they were below average musicians? Someone suggested to me that they even had studio musicians help them do most of their record. Is thart that true? It just seems to me like maybe their attitude and "punk rock" persona had more to do with them being the face of punk than their actual music did. Any thoughts? Anyone wanna tell me why the Sex Pistols are so revered?
