Top Ten Punk Albums of All Time: Number 1

Sex Pistols (London)
Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols (1977)

No surprise here. Every song's a punk classic on this, the Sex Pistols' one and only studio album. With Johnny Rotten, the most grating, faux genuine front man ever, and murderer/suicide Sid Vicious on bass, the Pistols epitomized punk like no one else.

Representative lyric:
Fuck this and fuck that, fuck it all and
Fuck the fucking brat.
She don't wanna baby that looks like that.
I don't wanna baby that looks like that.
(from “Bodies”)

Sex Pistols, “God Save the Queen”


Sex Pistols, “ Submission”
