N is for Never Mind the Bollocks....Here's the Sex Pistols

This week on P is for Punk, I finally sat down and listened to Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols by the Sex Pistols front to back for the first time. I went in expecting sloppy, angry noise… but what I got was something way tighter, louder, and more intentional than I thought. From the stomp of "Holidays in the Sun" to "God Save the Queen" and "Anarchy in the U.K.," this record is controlled chaos with hooks. We break down the album track by track, lyrics, tone, and musical composition while also digging into the band's history, their impact on punk, and how this record helped shape everything from the Ramones to the Dead Kennedys and beyond. Plus, we get into the myth and reality of Sid Vicious, and why this album still punches nearly 50 years later.
