	Rolling Stone : The Sex Pistols: Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Unabashedly crude, intensely emotional, calculated either to exhilarate or to offend, the Sex Pistols' music and stance were in direct opposition to the star trappings and complacency that, by the mid-'70s, had rendered rock & roll irrelevant to the common bloke.
		While the Sex Pistols were not the first punk rockers (that distinction probably goes to the Stooges), they were the most widely known and at least, to appearances, the most threatening.
		Dismissing the Sex Pistols as "a farce" and reverting to his given name, Lydon formed Public Image, Ltd. In 1986 the surviving members of the group and Vicious' mother won a lawsuit against McLaren, charging he had tied up their royalties in two management companies.

	Sex Pistols - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Meanwhile, the Pistols themselves decided to mark the Jubilee, along with the success of their record, by chartering a party boat, upon which they sailed down the Thames, past Westminster and the Houses of Parliament, performing their live set (which was, of course, intended to include God Save the Queen).
		The Sex Pistols' final UK performance was at Ivanhoe's in Huddersfield on Christmas Day 1977, a benefit for the families of striking firemen.
		Conversely, it can also be argued that the Sex Pistols were a manufactured pop act in the vein of The Sweet, Mud, and other early-'70s 'hard rock' singles acts, in as much as their look and sound were in part Malcolm McLaren's innovations.

	Sex Pistols: There Is No Future - PopMatters Music Review
		The generally staid, professional news format of NPR was, probably for the first time, exposed to the rebellious and loud tones of the Sex Pistols, reaching a white, middle class and middle aged audience that had probably never heard the band in their lives.
		And as the Pistols become elevated to an amusing and consumable piece of cultural history, punk is made safe, and people like Simon (who, to give him his due, seems to appreciate and possibly even enjoy "God Save the Queen") can dabble in their own little moment of anarchy without much worry.
		The Sex Pistols are at once the most vital punk band ever to record, and also the worst thing to happen to punk.

		While many people photographed the Sex Pistols during their brief career, Morris's shots are generally considered the single best documentary of the band, going beyond the press-preferred surface trappings of Johnny's sneer (which was genuine) and Sid's dumb-ox violence (which was not).

		Although their importance — both to the direction of contemporary music and more generally to pop culture — can hardly be overstated, the Sex Pistols did not make their stand primarily on albums.
		There are regular Pistols tracks — some with vocals by Sid, Steve Jones and Eddie Tudorpole taking the departed and uncooperative Rotten's place — as well as live performances, studio outtakes, symphonic renditions, a surprisingly great disco medley, McLaren's first vocal foray and much more.
		Jointly billed to the Sex Pistols and Ex-Pistols, The Swindle Continues is a similar (and overlapping) studio compilation with a side of first-album rehearsals, demos and outtakes (with one actual B-side, "No Fun," stuck in as a ringer) and a side of post-split items, mostly by Cook and Jones.
