Important to point out the reasons of said alienation: Britain was still very much a classist society (frankly is to this day, but it was much worse back then). Social(ist) movements intended to better the lot of the majority of the working class were kicked down left and right. This turmoil gave nurture to the rise of punk, which, while certainly invented in the US via garage rock and The Ramones, could certainly not have exploded like it did outside of the UK. The kids were sick of it and not gonna take it anymore. This only got worse when crypto fascist Margaret Thatcher took office a few years later. Bears mentioning that, while The Sex Pistols were a cast together "boy band" of their day, all four original members were quite consumate artists,with the exception of bass player Sid Vicious, who was mainly added to add "shock value".

Think about the failing car industry, the coal miner strikes and the insane political power of the workers unions. Musically punk was pure garbage. Even back then. You didn't have have many musical skills are talent. A few chords and you could be in a punk band. It was all about the shock value of the controversial lyrics. The real musical revolution of that era came when the synthesizer was adopted by artists and the record labels. The synth stuck and revolutionised music. Punk? It just fizzled out into oblivion.

I have to be honest, as a thirteen year old living in Ireland it both amused me and scared the s**t out of me, initially. The press really hyped up the anarchy angle and even scared their record company so that they signed a deal, were paid millions and then dropped and then signed a new deal and had a massively successful album and were very rich, very quickly. I ended up buying the album and loving it, it has a lot of energy, I could barely make out the lyrics, let alone sympathize with the sentiment 😜

There was an immense amount of distrust, revolt, and outright hatred for the British establishment. Quite predictably, the BBC (national tv/radio company) banned this song, but unsurprisingly it went to #1 any way. That says it all right there. My parents had enough. We packed our suitcases and left Britain. 100s of thousands of Brits did the same.

I'm really happy that you are checking out a wide spectrum of musical genres, and very happy that you are enjoying them. When you start getting into the new wave you have to check out Gary Numan. He is the most sampled artist in the history of music. Everyone from Grandmaster Flash to Basement Jaxx and so many more have sampled his music, because he has always been ahead of his time. He's been making music since the mid seventies, but I didn't get into him until '78. The first single from his newest album was released Jan 11/21, so he has had an extensive career, and has been a major influence on other musicians like Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and many others. He even did an album a few years ago with his daughter, and it is really good. He's not some old guy that is hanging on, he is still leading the way after 46 years of making music.

The English national anthem is God Save the Queen/King. This just turned that on its head. The song came out in time for the Queen's 25th anniversary on the throne. The song was HUGE that summer. It should have been on Top of the Pops as the number one song for the week of the Jubilee. But the Government had BBC Radio cook the books so the song lost out from reaching #1.

Although all those bands that I mentioned are good bands and I still like them, they kinda represent the corporatization of the music industry. See the movie "Almost Famous" for that discussion. The Ramones and the Sex Pistols reminded everyone that rock was originally about fun wrapped up in three screaming chords. It wasn't about "monetization". Listening to the Sex Pistols made me and my friends understand what rock and roll was all about. It made pseudo-intellectual art rock seem as pretentious as it was. And it's hard to understand just how hard it was to acquire certain albums at that time. You couldn't just go online and listen to some group. You had to go to specific record stores that had imported records, that had hard-to-find bands. You had to spend money just to hear an album. That made the whole experience of listening to an album for the first time a completely different experience than what you have today.

This song came out in 1977, the same year as Queen Elizabeth's silver jubilee celebration. It was a primal shout against the state of affairs in the UK at the time, which were in an increasingly bad economic and political situation... and to the leadership of the country, with the Queen as it's titular head of state. (The UK was nearly in another economic depression and the the IRA in Northern Ireland had stepped up their bombing campaign throughout England.) And to top it off, this video... which was filmed on a boat in the Thames river... had them play God Save the Queen right in front of Palace of Westminster, the seat of British government. And they did it just two days before the Queen was set to visit (via boat as well). Those police you see in the video aren't actors, they're the real police really pulling them off the boat and really stopping their performance.

Please check out: (It's A Beautiful World by Devo). (The Music Video). Don't let this one fool you. Most of this song is about how wonderful the world is, a "sweet romantic place with beautiful people everywhere." But at the end, it turns around with the line, "But not for me." "They wanted to get everybody into a mood where people thought Devo was saying the world was really nice and saying the world was beautiful, then it turns out to be one man's opinion, which is mine, which is, while the world could be beautiful, it's not for me because of what I'm seeing."

In June '77 I turned 16, left school, it was the Queen's Silver Jubilee (25 years on the throne) and this song was number 1 on every hit parade. Every hit parade, that is, except on the state broadcaster, the BBC. You ask how it felt? It felt like all the old stuff, musically, socially, politically, even clothing, was being re set. Of course, it wasn't quite the revolution we felt it was but still, it felt fucking brilliant!

I was in my teens when this song came out (the same year as the Queen's 25th anniversary on the throne). I can't say I was ever into The Sex Pistols or punk in general (I preferred Boston, Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, etc.). But growing up in Canada where the Royal Family and the Queen were on our money and technically the head of state (leftovers of the British Empire), I actually quite liked this song because I was sick (and still am) of another country's royals being so dominant in our way of life - not to mention a drain on the British economy, where the class system was still dominant (probably still is).

Lol love you played this. The 70s was a time of strikes , high unemployment and social discontent. The young felt disenfranchised and utterly peed off with the establishment. From this backdrop the punk movement grew , and yes many bands were promoting anarchy and bringing down the Royals and government. The Pistols were the first to boldly express their discontent with the corruption , greed and control of the elite ( nothing has changed sadly ) I’m 59 and was a punk back in the 70s. Saw just about every band there was. The pistols were high energy and crazy live. This song was banned off radio and tv and they meant every word of the lyrics. IThe pistols were the original anarchists along with the Stranglers. I can recommend one of theirs “ no more heroes “, they too were a profound influence at the time and still playing live today .
