"Public Image" was one of the first songs I learned to play on bass (its pretty damn simple)
I saw them around 1990-91 in Providence with School of Fish. I think it was on the "9" tour, but I'm not positive.Dave - 8-7-2008 at 01:36 PM

I got FLOWERS OF ROMANCE as well. some of the most creepy music put on tape. I mean that. Martin Atkins is a legend. THey were even great after he
left but they did get more pop structure with the same abrasive edge. Many many great tunes. Lydon has a way with words.

the song "religion" is the single greatest anti-religion song ever recordedclevohardcore - 8-7-2008 at 04:16 PM
RELIGION
Stained glass windows keep the cold outside
While the hypocrites hide inside
With the lies of statues in their minds
Where the Christian religion made them blind
Where they hide
And prey to the God of a bitch spelled backwards is dog
Not for one race, one creed, one world
But for money
Effective
Absurd
Do you pray to the Holy Ghost when you suck your host
Do you read who’s dead in the Irish Post
Do you give away the cash you can’t afford
On bended knees and pray to lord
Fat pig priest
Sanctimonious smiles
He takes the money
You take the lies
This is religion and Jesus Christ
This is religion cheaply priced
This is bibles full of libel
This is sin in eternal hymn
This is what they’ve done
This is your religion
The apostles were eleven
Now there’s a sod in Heaven
This is religion
There’s a liar on the altar
The sermon never falter
This is religion
Your religion
Stained glass windows keep the cold outside
While the hypocrites hide inside
With the lies of statues in their minds
Where the Christian religion made them blind
Where they hide
And prey to the God of a bitch spelled backwards is dog
Not for one race, one creed, one world
But for money
Effective
Absurd
This is religion
There’s a liar on the altar
The sermon never falter
This is religion
Do you pray to the Holy Ghost when you suck your host
Do you read who’s dead in the Irish Post
Do you give away the cash you can’t afford
On bended knees and pray to lord
Fat pig priest
Sanctimonious smiles
He takes the money
You take the lies
This is religion
A liar on the altar
Sermon never falter
This is religion
This is religion and Jesus Christ
This is religion cheaply priced
This is bibles full of libel
This is sin in eternal hymn
This is what they’ve done
This is your religion
The apostles were eleven
Now there’s a sod in Heaven
This is religion
Liar on the altar
The sermon never falter
This is religion
This is religion
This is religion
This is religion
This is religion
This is religion
A liar on the altar
A sermon never falter
This is religion
This is religion
Your religion
And it’s all falling to bits gloriously

just as a nerdy collector of crap I always wanted the 'metal box' lp.Spencer Crispe - 8-7-2008 at 06:53 PM
PIL are an awesome band.
Although hardly anything touches the Sex Pistols.gavin - 8-7-2008 at 07:25 PM

agreed
the pistols to me were the ultimate staright ahead rock band
nothing touches "never mind......"Monkey_Julius_BoWaffle - 8-8-2008 at 04:24 AM
I love "Never Mind..." and all, but my favorite "official" Pistols release is the "Mini Album" EP Restless Records released in the late 80's. 6 tracks
culled from the "Spunk" bootleg (which is great, great, great). I just prefer those versions over the "Never Mind..." versions personally.
As for PiL.......hate to admit it, but I never checked them out. Always have heard that the first album is flawless, etc. and I def. should give at
least that one a try.
Now that I think of it, another band I have also not been kind to are Lords of the New Church. Love that first Dead Boys album and have heard that the
debut LotNC album is flawless as well, but for some reason, I still have not checked it out.upyerbum - 8-8-2008 at 08:22 AM
Pil rule. Lords of the New Church rule. Pistols and The Dead Boys rule.
If you get a chance check out Stiv's solo album, I think it was called Disconnected, good stuff.Monkey_Julius_BoWaffle - 8-9-2008 at 05:57 AM

I have the
Wanderer's "Only Lover's Left Alive" album (from the GODLY Captain Oi label), great stuff, I really do need to check out that 1st LotNC album.
As for Pil, I think I'm going to dload their first album; if I like it, I'll prob. just go ahead and get that box-set thing.......clevohardcore - 8-9-2008 at 09:15 AM
PIL have a very different sound as they went on. Not bad at all just very different so if you check out the very early stuff absolutely check the more
recent stuff as well. I like it all, but "Flowers of Romance" "Album" and "9" are in my opinion really good.XHonusWagnerX - 8-9-2008 at 09:42 AM

I love that its 'Album' on LP, 'CD' on CD and 'Cassette' on tape.
I have a picture disc that came out around that same time thats called 'Interview' (bottom center of this picture)
