"Anarchy In The UK" remains the best Sex Pistols song, so that one is also the best on this generally extremely overrated album.

god save the queen

pro-lifers weighing in ;)

― eman, Thursday, 30 October 2008 14:50 (seventeen years ago)

voted holidays, it's the only single that still sounds great, but have a great love of submission and bodies

― Dr X O'Skeleton, Thursday, 30 October 2008 15:53 (seventeen years ago)

I think I went three years once with solely the intro to "Submission" in my head.

Holidays

― Rock Hardy, Thursday, 30 October 2008 16:09 (seventeen years ago)

E.M.I., duh.

― The Ungrateful Dead (Bimble Is Still More Goth Than You), Thursday, 30 October 2008 21:10 (seventeen years ago)

Hmm, I woulda said "EMI" but for the rushed guitar solo - Jones should've thought up a "y" riff, so he coulda played "x/x/x/y" rather than "x/x/x/x". So I'll go with my favourite of the second-tier stuff, "Problems".

― Myonga Vön Bontee, Thursday, 30 October 2008 22:39 (seventeen years ago)

As album tracks, EMI, with New York a close second. I still think the first four singles are as strong a run as any UK act ever.

― Soukesian, Thursday, 30 October 2008 22:48 (seventeen years ago)

1. Pretty Vacant
2. Bodies

"Bodies"

― eman, Friday, 31 October 2008 03:25 (seventeen years ago)

Bodies by miles.

Submission

― Nate Carson, Friday, 31 October 2008 08:46 (seventeen years ago)

"holidays" just for the lyrics -- makes no sense at all by the third verse, but still scary.

― J.D., Saturday, 1 November 2008 09:43 (seventeen years ago)

'Pretty Vacant' (just pipping 'Anarchy in the UK').

― dubmill, Saturday, 1 November 2008 13:10 (seventeen years ago)

UNLIMITED SUPPLYYYYYYYYYYYY

― Doctor Casino, Saturday, 1 November 2008 15:30 (seventeen years ago)

as a high schooler, I found "Rock and Roll Swindle" to be a much more listenable, interesting, and quirky album. I couldn't even get into this one.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Went with "God Save the Queen" (obvious but epic) and instantly regretted it. And then didn't.

Submission

I can't believe a pro-life song won.

― Philip Nunez, Thursday, 6 November 2008 00:22 (seventeen years ago)

lol

― eman, Thursday, 6 November 2008 00:29 (seventeen years ago)

it just sounds good!

― the next grozart, Thursday, 6 November 2008 00:38 (seventeen years ago)

The intro to Pretty Vacant is pretty great, but I would never, like, listen to the Sex Pistols on purpose.

― I know, right?, Thursday, 6 November 2008 00:41 (seventeen years ago)

'I found "Rock and Roll Swindle" to be a much more listenable, interesting, and quirky album.'

Now, that IS an unusual opinion. Haven't listened to 'Swindle' for a VERY long time, be interested to have someone try and talk me into it.

― Soukesian, Thursday, 6 November 2008 18:39 (seventeen years ago)

The intro to Pretty Vacant is pretty great
xpost

It's a fabulous intro, worthy of early Who. Shame the rest of the song can't live up to it, I always feel

― Dr X O'Skeleton, Thursday, 6 November 2008 21:10 (seventeen years ago)

Some sketch comedy show used "Pretty Vacant" as the theme and kind of ruined it for me, but Pretty Vacant is the best.

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Thursday, 6 November 2008 21:20 (seventeen years ago)

I heard that the intro to pretty vacant was cribbed from ABBA... something about sid being an insatiable abba fan.
does this ruin it more for you than being the intro for that show with the brother of one of the kids in the hall where everyone's all like in a wind tunnel?

― Philip Nunez, Thursday, 6 November 2008 21:26 (seventeen years ago)

three years pass...
