The Sex Pistols, hailing from London, are the iconic English punk rock band that ignited the punk movement in the United Kingdom during the mid-1970s. Formed in 1975, their brief but explosive career left an indelible mark on popular music, inspiring countless punk, post-punk, and alternative rock musicians. With their raw energy, provocative lyrics, and rebellious image, the Sex Pistols became a symbol of social and political turmoil. Their seminal album, "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols," and anthems like "God Save the Queen" and "Anarchy in the U.K." remain timeless classics. Despite their initial run lasting just over two years, the Sex Pistols' influence endures, making them one of the most significant and controversial bands in rock history.
