Never Mind the Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols

by Sex Pistols

The 32nd greatest album of all time

Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols is the Sex Pistols' only studio album, released in 1977. It condenses punk rock into short, abrasive tracks driven by distorted guitars, propulsive drums, and Johnny Rotten's sneering vocals, with blunt, confrontational lyrics aimed at social and political authority. The album is regarded as a defining work of the British punk movement and helped establish the raw, do-it-yourself aesthetic that influenced later punk and alternative bands.
