From the iconic "Anarchy in the UK" to the rebellious "God Save the Queen," these are the tracks that defined a generation and continue to resonate with music lovers around the world.
Thirty-five years later and this song will always beat the new crap, such as Justin Bieber and One Direction, any day. Steve Jones has to be one of the most underrated guitarists of all time. Johnny Rotten also has great vocals in this, which adds power to this song.
Best punk song ever! The Mötley Crüe version kicks ass, as does the Sex Pistols'.
Raw, in your face, and hugely revolutionary! These powerful, intelligent, politically astute lyrics still apply to modern-day England. Rotten's vocals are so raw and aggressive, yet punk perfection in this track (like all Pistols songs actually), and Steve's exhilarating guitar intro has dynamics almost like Smells Like Teen Spirit before Smells Like Teen Spirit. (Also a great song.)
The first punk song I heard, and it made an enormous impression on me. God Save the Queen reached number 2 on the Swedish single top list in the summer of 1977.
Best song of theirs, and the only record on NMTB to feature Sid. Epic!
Yay, energetic and fantastic songs. Sex Pistols are the best.
Not sure if it is the best, but I had to vote for it. Awesome song!
Brilliant opening line: "A cheap holiday in other people's misery."
A cynical take on the hubris of youth. Powerful, driven, fast. Great punk song!
That opening guitar riff just draws you in!
It's just an awesome song. The guitar at the start of the song is one of the best intros I've heard.
EMI is the best composition of the Pistols. It has all elements of the best punk song.
This one's definitely the best off of the "Bollocks" album.
Super-charged from the start, the full-throttle "Problems" never lets up. Johnny Rotten lays out his mission statement: "Eat your heart out on a plastic tray / You don't do what you want, then you'll fade away / You won't find me working nine to five / It's too much fun being alive."
Ultimately, it comes down to the chorus refrain of "the problem is you," which gains greater resonance at the end of the song, as the word is repeated in an increasingly bored tone that drives home the point.
This is obviously one of the best Sex Pistols songs. It is the most melodic of "Nevermind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols," but it is also full of rage!
I've got no feelings for anybody else, except myself, my beautiful self!
Watch footage of this track at the Dallas gig '78. Powerhouse!
A nice little middle finger to... well, everyone.
Excellent recording of them in their prime. Also, Matlock's bass line is a killer on this track.
I listened to lots of Sex Pistols songs, and I really mean lots... And I still haven't found another song that surpasses this one, man.
Their best song, hands down. Love the guitar on this song.
This is very funny and full of rage, violence, and swearing. The perfect drinking song, and it is much better than God Save the Queen.
Just like oldies, but the punk element is still in this song. What? I love it.
