Sex Pistols
Considering my interest in punk music, it was somewhat inevitable that I would come across the genre’s roots. And it indeed unfortunate that no punk band since has really replicated the sense of mayhem, attitude, chaos, end of the world sensation, disgust, outrage, attitude, rage, defiance and oh I did I mention attitude? Like many teens before, this was a perfect representation of my teenage disgruntlement.
Key Album: Never Mind the Bollocks (1977) No contest really. Although my teens are well behind me, I can still listen to this and it works wonders. It provides a demented sense of glee in hearing the music rulebook torn up and well established conventions being left in the dust. This is the sound of the world coming to an end. The fact that it irritated my father was an added bonus.
