Oooh The Police, good one. They couldn't fill an early phonograph cylinder with good music. (That'd be about 2 minutes). And I have to laugh when people call them punk. They are about as punk as The Turtles.
I have less of a problem with the music of The Police than I do with their reputation with critics.
You hear nothing but praise for them about how original and groundbreaking their sound was, when they sound no different than a bunch of other pop rock groups from their era.
As for the Sex Pistols, they have next to nothing for studio output, roughly one album's worth of material and it was an album with what one or two "decent" songs?
Hell, I thought Motorhead's recording of
God Save The Queen easily beat the Pistols and I would rather listen to the Megadeth or Motley Crue versions of
Anarchy in the UK than the Pistols.
