Sex Pistols Make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Monday, March 13th, 2006

Well, how cool is this. The Sex Pistols make the Roll and Roll Hall of Fame rolls this year. I am not sure that I thought about them making the list of entrants, but hearing that they have made the cut, I think it is pretty damn cool.

In the space of about a year, the Sex Pistols released one album, horrified the Western world with their obnoxious music and broke up. In the process, they galvanized a generation, changed the course of pop music and set a standard — angry, uncompromising, intensely passionate — for future bands that would dare to assume the mantle of punk Rock. Tonight, almost three decades after the release of that seminal 1977 album, “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols,” the group — singer Johnny Rotten, guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook, bassist Glen Matlock and his more famous replacement, the late Sid Vicious — will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum at a ceremony at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.

The Arcade Fire, Bedouin Soundclash and Dallas Green were among artists honoured Wednesday at the Canadian Independent Music Awards. Montreal’s the Arcade Fire won favourite album for Funeral…
