Okay, so you concede an obvious lack of talent...

But for the rest of the band, they all had talent. Just because you can't sing, drum, or play guitar the proper way doesn't mean you have no talent. Like I said before "They couldn't write songs or record a album that changed Rock n Roll histroy if they didn't have any".
If someone can't sing, play guitar or drum, then they don't have musical talent, which is what I said. They changed the face of the music industry because they were the right band at the right time.

What Sex Pistols fans have you talked too? I agrue that REAL fans would stick up for them and say they had talent. And no, I am not a huge fan.
I could list off about 100 names of "REAL" fans who think that, but what good would that do? You wouldn't know any of them anyways... (As a matter of fact, I can't think of 1 single person who I have ever heard say, "Wow! Listen to this harmony!" or "Whoa! What a riff!" or anything along those lines.) I know a lot of people who like them, but what they like about them is 1)The rawness of the music, 2)the chaos and anarchy of the lyrics, and 3) the overall attitude of the band.

People were sick of Disco? Thats why the Sex pistol blew up? The Disco era was 1977-1980. Disco was nothing when Punk started. The Sex Pistols blew up in 1976.... so how can people be sick of a type of music that wasn't even massive yet?

Get your facts straight.
I kinda mis-spoke on that. When I said disco before, I actually meant the hippy/classic rock type shit. My bad.

The punks were sick of the hippy music, and not into disco (Which was getting big around the same time.) so they started their own sound.
