Sex Pistols – Nevermind the Bollocks
Performed by: The Flowers of Romance
Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols is the sole studio album by English punk rock group Sex Pistols, released on 27 October 1977 by record label Virgin.
Fans and critics alike generally regard it as one of the most important albums in the history of rock music, citing the lasting influence it has had on subsequent punk rock musicians, as well as other musical genres that were influenced by such punk rock artists.
In 1985, NME writers voted Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols the thirteenth greatest album of all time.[30] In 1993, NME writers voted the album the third greatest of all time.[31]
In 1987, Rolling Stone magazine named it the second best album of the previous 20 years, behind only The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The same magazine named it 41st on their list of the five-hundred greatest albums ever in 2003. In an interview during 2002, Rolling Stone journalist Charles M. Young stated:
Never Mind the Bollocks changed everything. There had never been anything like it before and really there's never been anything quite like it since. The closest was probably Nirvana, a band very heavily influenced by the Sex Pistols.[32]
In his 1995 book, The Alternative Music Almanac, Alan Cross placed the album in the number 6 spot on his 10 Classic Alternative Albums list. In 1997, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols was named the 24th greatest album of all time in a Music of the Millennium poll conducted in the United Kingdom by HMV Group, Channel 4, The Guardian and Classic FM.[33]
In 2005, the album was ranked No. 276 in Rock Hard magazine's book of The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.[34] In 2006, it was chosen by Time magazine as one of the 100 greatest albums ever,[35] and in the same year NME voted the album the fourth greatest British album.[36]
Noel Gallagher was interviewed for a television program called When Albums Ruled the World for the BBC, aired in early 2013. He said, of the album's opening with 'Holidays in the sun', "That is extremely provocative, what we can only assume is jackboots", which he followed by saying, "As soon at that starts, everything that has gone on before is now deemed fucking irrelevant, as soon as he starts anti singing." He then said of Pretty Vacant, "One of the 1st things you learn when you pick up the electric guitar is that riff." He then further commented, "I made 10 albums and in my mind they don't match up to that, and I'm an arrogant bastard. I'd give them all up to have written that, I truly would."[37]
Tickets available FROM OZTIXS OR BOTTLE SHOP - $15
Due to demands from both musicians and punters, we are back after two wildly successful seasons with our third instalment of The Newport Record club.
For those of you unfamiliar with The Newport Record Club, it is a weekly night that sees some of W.As most beloved and recognisable musicians pay homage to the artists that inspired them and the albums that never left their turntable.
This season we are happy to announce that Matso’s Mango Beer will be sponsoring the series, so you can expect nice priced pints on tap!
We also take into consideration that it’s a school night, so doors open at 7:30 and the band starts at 8:30, so head in early and check out The Newport Galley’s dinner specials.
There will be half time quiz giveaways, where you could win the vinyl of that night’s album, courtesy of Junction Records.
