Lyrics Satellite Sex Pistols

Biografia

The Sex Pistols were the archetypal punk band, and one of the most important and iconic groups in rock history. Punk-rock had already been suggested as a musical style by the likes of The Stooges, MC5 and the New York Dolls, but it took off in the mid-70s with Patti Smith, Ramones and The Sex Pistols. In particular, the Sex Pistols had a massive effect on British culture, epitomising punk in many ways other than their music. Most importantly, they were anti-authoritarian, rejecting mainstream values and conventional wisdom, reflected in their music which rejected conventional rules. Describing early 70's rock as too extravagant and elitist, punk-rock would be simple and cathartic and available to everyone. They were ugly, behaved like snotty-nosed kids, and they were poor at playing their instruments: the message was that you didn't have to be pretty, friendly or musically skilled to be a rock star, you just had to have something to say. The Sex Pistols released one studio album, *Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols*, in 1977, which became a punk classic and sold millions of copies worldwide. Some of their most representative songs include 'Anarchy in the UK', 'God Save the Queen' and 'Holidays in the Sun'.
