Forget "respect for the guys who launched it" (and trust me, they did; more in a second on that) -- go buy this because it is a fantastic record with the essential studio tracks and some good live recordings. Play "Anarchy" once, and there's no going back.

Turn up "Prety Vacant" to ten and feel everything punk was, and should still be.

Although Iggy Pop helped lay a framework, and even Alice Cooper [the band] used outrage as part of its appeal, The Ramones first album is, IMHO, the first punk record. And almost NO ONE would ever have heard it if not for their progeny. The Sex Pistols were so explosive in England, and so good, that British TV and newspapers were fascinated by them. And American TV took note, as did popular music magazines. And punk *was* the Sex Pistols-- the music and Johnny Rotten were angry, and were expressing in raw terms what they felt. And the songs on this record are a fantastic way to enter the world of the Pistols' music.

If you like punk and dont own this album, theres something wrong. The Sex Pistols started the whole thing so show some respect and get a copy!
