How can one man be so influential yet talentless at the same time?

BECAUSE PUNK LOL
Luke Fisher
I would argue that he wasn't actually that influential at all. While the Sex Pistols did become a sort of poster boy for the punk movement, their music was fucking terrible for the most part and there were many other bands who worked with the same sound but did it better. Really, the only thing they did was drive fads and the punk look and attitude. Music wise, they really didn't contribute anything. I started out listening to the Sex Pistols but as I've grown I realize that they're really juvenile, not just in the content but in the execution.

Have you heard of PiL by any chance?
Thomas Reyes
PIL is pretty good Tbh
Also, the answer is the million releases of myopic boomer media about the "punk" movement (just as with "summer of love" and "british invasion" media)
Cameron Barnes
Pil basically invented death metal vocals
Asher Allen
Public Image didn't influence shit.
Joseph Richardson
>frontman of the band that was the personification of punk
>realized that his punk band was actually and empty corporate product
>left the group and started making the kind of music he really liked, the kind of music his manager told him to pretend to hate
Is John Lydon the most interesting man in music?
Jacob Morgan
Start posting death metal vocals before 1978
Hudson Turner
That's not what I said either, I said that he was in a pretty good band, but the reason that he is regarded as "influential" is that baby boomers make like 5 documentaries about the "punk movement" a year.
Liam Moore
Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Manic Street Preachers, Primal Scream and post-punk revival bands.

How come so many Sex Pistol fans or people who think Sex Pistols are overrated never heard of PiL?
Josiah Green
Here's at least one.
John Brown

their public image was too limited
Ryder Lee
Their first three albums were incredibly influential, practically every post-punk and noise rock band after were in some way influenced by them, Metal Box in particular
Christian Reyes
Link?
Gavin Fisher
Whites influential, since Trump.
Christian Howard
Because you spend too much time on Sup Forums
Justin Cooper
THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT

Hunter Wright
John Lydon (Or Johnny Rotten, if you like) is my hero, and did absolutely nothing wrong!
Isaiah Phillips
IT'S ABOUT GREAT BUTTER
John Parker
Annalisa
Samuel Williams
Sex Pistols
>I can't sing and we can't play our instruments but who cares
Public Image
>I can't sing and we can't play our instruments but its art
Jacob Morgan
Glen Matlock > Syd Vicious
Prove me wrong
Jacob Green
First of all, it's spelled SID.
Secondly this is a John Lydon/Johnny Rotten thread, so the two people you mention are irrelevant to this thread.
Other than that, you are absolutely right, especially when you consider that they had to bring Glen Matlock in to finish Never mind The Bollocks because Sid couldn't play for shit. (And if you ever saw any videos of them in concert with Sid, he was just terrible!)
Nathan Gutierrez
Decent.
5/10

Nicholas Edwards
You're confusing influenced by actual artists with influential.
Dominic Clark
If you think he's bad, you should meet his friend.
A literal talentless groupie poseur is the genre's most recognizable face. Depressing.
Jaxon Brooks
Because influence doesn't require talent
Juan Garcia
woman, go back to
Robert Mitchell
Because of the business mind behind him, duh.
Jayden Morris
It's much more punk to piss people off than conform to the notion of "real" punk.
Colton Rogers
Johnny rotten was a mannequin for Malcolm McLaren's clothing line
Jaxon Thompson
Tyler Turner
Sex Pistols were one of the most blatant industry plants in history and he was wise to break free from that with Public Image Ltd.
Jeremiah Brown
>many other bands worked with their same sound
AKA they were influential. And that's coming from someone who hates the Pistols
Jaxson Adams
>b-b- but they were a boy b-band

Eli Hernandez
Fodderstompf was gorillaz twenty years before gorillaz
