One Team In Keynsham Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 The other day I gave Never Mind The Bollocks a listen for the first time in ages. It has not aged too badly at all. As to the best track, hard to look past Anarchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 I turn the volume up when the Pistols play. An honourable mention for (the Steve Jones' hooky) Pretty Vacant, but I crank it up to 11 for an odd track - for all the anti-establishement/destroy the old stuff stance of punk, they made a smash of an old Monkees track: Stepping Stone. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about opinions, but I always has Submission down as the weakest track on Bollocks. Not a bad track , but my least favourite on the album.

I always think it looks strange when you see footage of the Pistols and Glen is playing the bass finger-style, as apposed to Syd's beat the **** out of the thing with a plectrum. Also it is well known that Steve plays bass on the album. (I think) Also great on his radio interview show thing. A good guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swanker Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 My favourite band as a young man and I had a ticket to see them at the Bamboo Club. Haven’t got a favourite song, just liked them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Rocker Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Apart from Pretty Vacant, how about this sometimes overlooked gem, New York. It's such a powerful track with Rotten's brilliant sneering vocal taking a swipe at Johnny Thunders and the New York scene, and Cook & Jones at their thunderous best.

Red-Robbo Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Can't listen to Lydon's voice ever since all that butter bunce (to adapt a Pistol's lyric) made him a moron... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Pretty Vacant IMO is the best thing they ever did, one of my fav tracks still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Crikey I’m getting old............... To me the Pistols music is like Status Quo - all the same chords, but with aggressive vocals and I have absolutely no idea about my favourite Pistols song. I can’t tell the difference between any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West coast American music like the Eagles, Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers along with Lynyrd Skynyrd. As eclectic taste in other words. None of it sounds the same!

From the album, I'd go for No Feelings My completely unresearched theory is maybe Submission is the favourite of people who got more into post-punk than punk itself. I think the fact that it is less of a straight punk track and hints at slightly dancier leanings might be the exact reason why I like it and why others might see it as the weakest track on the album. That could be nonsense though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
