"Bloody 'ell"...

Well, it's finally happened. The most overrated band of all time is being inducted in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, The Sex Pistols. Here's their official releases:

-Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols

That's it. One record that supposedly "changed music forever". I say that's a bunch of "bollocks". These guys were a manufactured music act with big mouths and little in the way of talent. When you hire a pyschotic bass player (Sid Vicious) based on his "look" and "punk attitude" rather than his playing, I can't take you seriously. They actually had to turn his amp down and sometimes off altogether for live shows. That's how bad he was. It's amazing to me that this band get's any modicum of respect at all. When you consider the late, great Miles Davis is going in to the hall alongside these pretenders, it makes me sick to my stomach. It's a complete slap in the face to all the other real bands that are going in this year, Black Sabbath and Lynyrd Skynyrd among them. To think they'll be honored in a place where Dylan, Hendrix and The Beatles are enshrined is nothing short of a scandal.
