NEW POLL: "Anarchy in the UK" vs. "London Calling"
Added 2023-05-12 19:24:53 +0000 UTCEngland's got a new king! And after watching all that pomp and circumstance, I think it's time that we remind ourselves that Britain is bullshit and we should tear it all down. So which punks rock the River Thames harder? Is it the Sex Pistols bringing "Anarchy in the UK" or The Clash's "London Calling"?

2023-05-26 21:03:09 +0000 UTCI don’t think Lydon wore a swastika himself or at any rate stopped doing so because he was more influenced by Bernie Rhodes (himself Jewish) who thought the punks didn’t understand how offensive it was. Sid did of course. Lydon’s view then was https://www.azquotes.com/quote/1429908

2023-05-24 12:29:26 +0000 UTCAs a British person who just had to endure the celebration of a billionaire elitist putting on a shiny hat on the public dime: my vote goes with The Sex Pistols.

2023-05-17 09:55:54 +0000 UTCAs much as I hate to say it seeing as John Lydon is such a massive arsehole: I just like Anarchy in the UK more. I like London Calling of course but comparing the two makes it sound a little stiff next to the loud, abrasiveness of Anarchy in the UK and that just appeals to me more, personally.
