Best one yet in this series.
They made it sound like the whole thing was one big long accident. Not just the album but the whole career( such as it was).
Four guys who couldn't play (at first) being managed by a guy who only wanted to sell clothes
Sacking Matlock probably doomed the band( no real suprise there)
For a guy who supposedly couldn't play a lick- Steve Jones played some pretty tight and cool sounding guitar

It's like the Dead Milkmen, they suck... but it's the rawness of it and the fact that it is shit that makes it good
There's no way anyone gonna claim they were musical genius's, but that wasn't the point was it?
They made one album that will be talked for for as long as there is music being made. Take that, Emerson, Lake and Palmer
Especially in this genre
You can't say the Dead Kennedy's songs are musical masterpieces, it's grinding sound with a very odd sounding lyricist (Jello Biafra) made it sound like crap .... but it was good stuff
she just had an abortion
she was a case of insanity
her name was Pauline she lived in a tree
She was a no-one who killed her baby
she sent her letters from the country
she was an animal
she was a bloody disgrace
Body I'm not an animal
Mummy I'm not an abortion
Dragged on a table in a factory
illegitimate place to be
in a packet in a lavatory
die little baby screaming
Body screaming fucking bloody mess
it's not an animal it's an abortion
Body I'm not an animal
Body I'm not an abortion
Throbbing squirm, gurgling bloody mess
I'm not a discharge I'm not a loss in
protein I'm not a throbbing squirm Ah!
Fuck fhis and fuck that
fuck it all and fuck the fucking brat
She don't wanna baby that looks like that
I don't wanna baby that looks like that.
Body I'm not an animal
Body i'm not an abortion
Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex... (1977)
Holidays In The Sun
A cheap holiday in other people's misery
I don't wanna holiday in the sun
I wanna go to the new Belsen
I wanna see some history
'cause now t got a reasonable economy
Oh now I got a reason...
and l'm still waiting
Now I got a reason
to be waiting
the Berlin wall
In sensurround sound in a two inch wall
well I was waiting for the communist call
I didn't ask for sunshine
and I got world war three
I'm looking over the wall
and they're looking at me
Oh now l got a reason...
and I'm still waiting
Now I got a reason
to be waiting
the Berlin wall
They're staring all night
and fhey're staring all day.
l had no reason to be here at all.
But now I got a reason if's no real reason
And I'm waiting at Berlin wall
I gotta go over fhe Berlin wall.
I don't understand it... (etc.)
Claostrophobia there's too much paranoia
there's too many closets
I went in before
And now I got a reason
it's no real reason to be waiting
the Berlin wall
I gotta go over the wall,
I don't understand this bit at all... (etc.)
Please don't be waiting for me.

Certainly an elevated place in history for both of them, though
Pit Row
PIL was good. Saw them once. Never mind the Bullocks was a good album.
I loved PIL...great fricken band. Listen to their song Seattle...kind of Nostrodamus like about the grunge scene--but way before it exploded. Course that's they way I hear it now.
Seattle" by PIL (Happy, The Greatest Hits...So far)
Don' like the look of this old town
What goes up must come down
Character is lost and found
On unfamiliar playing ground
Get out of my world
> What in the world
Shoeboxed around the rifle range
Have all your functions rearranged
Your mind and body gagged and bound
On a new familiar playing ground
The ordinary will ignore
Whatever they canot explain
As if--nothing ever happened
And everything remained the same again
What in the world (3)
Get out of my world (3)
[these lyrics are found on http://www.songlyrics.com]
Get up, get out, get out of my world (repeat)
Open your mouth now
Secret signs and knowing looks
These sunny days will cook the books
Happy to take the misery
This mortal life can bring to me
Don't like the look of this old town
What goes up must come down
Character is lost and found
On unfamiliar playing ground
What in the world (3)
What in, get out, get out, get out of my worlkld
What in the world
Palaces, barricades, threats meet promises
(repeat)
John Lydon was the right person at the right place at the right time, PIL was great but he's as much of a kook now as Malcolm McLaren. Steve Jones, Mick Jones, and Joe Strummer are forever cool ass MFers.
Big Audio Dynamite get forgotten but for the time they were a great band too.

The Great Rock and Roll Swindle movie is a slightly amusing Malcolm McLaren version of things.
It had a great, raw sound to it. Then they went pop.
not really in the same category or league as what we're discussing here
I saw them after Electric- not as good as I was hoping for
