Never Mind The 25th Anniversary

Posted by Hemos on Tuesday October 29, 2002 @05:32PM from the classic-bands dept.

jonerik writes "Considering that much of the controversy surrounding the Sex Pistols was centered around Queen Elizabeth II's silver jubilee, it's somewhat ironic that the band is now celebrating their own: The group's seminal album, "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols" was released 25 years ago today, according to this article from Reuters. Interestingly, although the album was hugely influential (and remains so), like most punk albums of the time, it wasn't a huge success in the U.S. at the time, taking until 1987 to be certified gold and another five years to be certified platinum. God save the Sex Pistols - we mean it maaaaaaaaan." Yeah, so it's not precisely topical - but still, whata band.

I like music, and I like /. I don't, however like /.'s music.

Why not post some real stories like missles being shot at airplanes and being caught on tape by a news cameraman? Or perhaps the coming cyberwar.
