On 28 October 1977, Sex Pistols released their only studio album “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols” featuring singles “Anarchy in the U.K." “God Save the Queen" “Pretty Vacant" and “Holidays in the Sun". The album has influenced many bands and musicians, and the industry in general. In particular, the album's raw energy, and Johnny Rotten's sneering delivery and "half-singing", are often considered game-changing. It is frequently listed as the most influential punk album, and one of the most important and best albums of all time.
In 1987, Rolling Stone magazine named the album the second best of the previous 20 years, behind only the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The same magazine ranked it number 73 on their list of 500 greatest albums of all time in 2020. In 2006, it was chosen by Time magazine as one of the 100 greatest albums ever.
