May 23, 2016 - The Sex Pistols - Anarchy in the U.K. (1977)


This song is a classic. My friend Dave O had this album when he was in 6th grade or something. So I was familiar with it from a young age. I didn't love it then, but I was curious. Why is this guy yelling?! He sounds crazy. C'mon, put on the Beatles, Dave. Or the Clash, at least I know some of their songs. And that album cover. Nowhere near as cool as Point of Know Return. What the heck, I wasn't a punk, never will be. But I appreciate good music, no matter what the genre. I feel blessed that I can choose to listen to the Sex Pistols or  a Brandenburg Concerto and enjoy them both. This is why I love having a library of tunes that I can play at random, mix it all up so I never know what's next. It's all good.

So what is so great about Anarchy in the UK? Well, first of all, it rocks. The music is like a charge of electricity. This was a song (and album) that came out and jolted people awake. Stop listening to that awful singer songwriter crap! Things suck and you had better start paying attention!
