Killed by punk music (Pistols).

LOL...the Pistols were The Partridge Family of Punk.

Please explain. Never Mind the Bollocks is critical rock and roll in my opinion.

The Sex Pistols were a manufactured band who couldn't play their instruments, sing in tune or play live; they relied entirely on shock value, reputation & hype to fuel their questionable success in the form of several lucrative record contracts before they disappeared from the scene. The parallels to today's boy bands, The Voice & X Factor contestants is uncanny – the lack of musical ability in abundance and careers based on hype - it is almost a replica.

Black Flag and X made some incredibly boring music. If any punk bands were overrated, it had to be those two bands.

Boring and overrated are subjective. Authentic is not.

Still having a hard time understanding you and the Partridge Family comparison. Lyndon, Jones, Cook, also Matlock - all playing. It is punk rock - they weren't trying to be Yes. That was whole point. Pistols were pioneers, and my understanding was that only Sidney Vicious was unable to play an instrument. I've never read anything to the contrary and you have not provided such. LSD. Bagels. Mazel topf. Skeechie? Lazarus.

They were a cynical con: "Something with which to sell trousers", as creator & manager Malcom McLaren said in 1989; a "carefully planned exercise to embezzle as much money as possible out of the music industry", as Jon Savage characterised McLaren's core theme in The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle; "cash from chaos" as the movie puts it.

Sound familiar? Partridge Family, KISS, Backstreet Boys, Menudo, NKOTB, One Direction...

You are employing the logic of the fatuous adherents of the book from which you borrowed your monicker. The Sex Pistols are nothing like the goddam Partridges/New Kids On The Biff, and a handful of cheap quotes, most of which have probably been said about the Stones and their contemps too, doesn't bridge the gap.

I have very little respect for any opinion that is not my own, and it makes me a more open minded person to what is absolutely correct. I can't miss here. I never miss. Their best song, set forth below, ends this exercise. Wooo hoo hoo hoooo!

I am well aware that Andy was not in the Bee Gees. He was their younger brother.

In my view, the Bee Gees catalog is great.
