The very best of Pil. A far more interesting band musically than the 'Sex Pistols'. One of the truly important UK bands. Seminal, original, passionate inspiration. I used to play this all the time very loud driving everyone else crazy. Got me into bass. One of Lydon's very best. Also 'Bad Life', truly punk. No faking it 'Rock N Roll', like the relatively lightweight Pistols, A 'top of the Pop's parody of rebellion. *'Ever felt you've been had'?* With the talented Keith Levine and Jah Wobble, good drumming! Intense mourning his mom. Lydon's best. Mesmerizing darkness and pain!
