Not as good as The Clash's debut but a helluva lot better than the Ramones.

Amen to that!

Number five on my chart. The album is anything BUT boring. It's raw, untamed, emotion-packed, and absolutely the best example of attitude prevailing over talent.

No, these boys can't play very well at all. Yes, you're right, Mr. Rotten can't sing worth a damn. But, virtuosity often breeds ignorance.

The Sex Pistols were the Jackson Pollocks of the music industry.

This album perfectly captured an attitude and a moment in time. It's very much like a Jack Pollock painting...a masterpiece.

A classic, the best British respond to the Ramones :)

It's quite different from Ramones I think. The closest thing to Ramones in British punk is Slaughter and the Dogs.

Never Mind The Bollocks is a very good album. There are punk albums that I prefer, but not that much.

i agree, they have quite different punk styles (Fun Vs revolt) but the Ramones were the first punk band (let's forget the stooges) so they were an inspiration for the sex pistols.

One of those albums you know you have to appreciate, but blow off giving it an actual chance...

I've heard people say this album is boring, badly done, or just bad.

I used to think that, but it's weird how much this album grew on me 😜

#19 on my chart 😄

Overall I personally find 80's hardcore punk was more interesting than most of the 70's stuff.

Incredible album. Easily among the best British albums ever. Taps into what made Ramones so great, which is just the amount of energy this has and how fun it is to listen to. The Pistols don't really wow me with their technical powers, but they make a fun album. "Anarchy in the UK" makes me top 5 for best songs of the 70s.

This is the one I never really cared for... As much energy as it is there, it feels very monotonous

God Save the Queen is a great track though
