Milestones: 'Never Mind the Bollocks'

SEX PISTOLS
Never Mind the Bollocks...
[Virgin]

Revered as one of the greatest and most influential rock records of all time, the band’s sole studio album was not just a collection of raucous tunes sung by an anti-singer frontman but the sound of the British working class’ distrust and frustration with the establishment set to music. THAT’s what all the fuss was about.

Although correctly deemed a game changer upon release, hindsight has revealed it to be more rockin’ than revolutionary, musically speaking. Regardless, its influence was staggering and could still be felt decades later in the music of such acolytes as Nirvana and Oasis. And deep into the early 21st century it still rocks harder than most, as a matter of fact.

Released October 28, 1977.
