Tis the season right?
These guys changed the word
The Sex Pistols – It’s hard to remember today. In the middle of a recession forcing retail to close two days a week and unemployment at a mindboggling 18%, these four guttersnips rose out of a Dickensian squallor to rewrite the story of rock. Guess what. If you weren’t there, you weren’t there.
Nirvana – The greatest songwriter of his generation was also a jangly mess of bad medicine and sick consciousness and white America ran after him which only made it worse.
The Beatles – Saved the US after JFK was assassinated.
Spider Bags – The Rolling Stones of the 00s with zero financing and a bad drug habit (oh, wait, both bands have the bad drug habit). In an alternative world Spider Bags are the biggest band on the planet and it is indictment of everybody from the media to the audience that they aren’t. In 00 s Spider Bags really are the other band that matters.
