John Lydon`s voice in the last verse of "Anarchy in the UK" is the best punk-sound this world has to offer

The raw heaviness of Steve Jones' tone is unbelievable. So distinctive and he doesn't move his wrist or hand so much - it's just him. Incredible.

Not in this video it isn't. His 70's original Sex Pistols voice was unique. His PIL voice is not so good. He has sang in his PIL voice ever since. Hearing him singing Pistols songs in that PIL voice is awful. His Sex Pistols voice disappeared in 1978.

I agree. Every song is pretty motherfucking killer. There really isn't a moment that is not. There isn't a part that is different than how I'd want to do it if i was trying to get this punk thing to take off. They're the funnest punk band. I don't want to ask for more because that would just be Ego. I understand there is no way they could have kept it up for more than the one album. It is just the right amount and it is as close to perfect as a rock band has ever been.

Wrong, you're WAY off. "Boy band" is a modern dancepop concept, nothing to do with the Pistols or how they formed. Care to learn the ACTUAL history? The Pistols were originally self-formed in 1972 by Steve Jones and Paul Cook - band members - and their mate Wally Nightingale. Bassist and songwriter Glen Matlock joined in '73 and John Lydon in '75. The term "boy band" didn't even exist until the nineties. Nothing to do with manufactured dancepop groups.
