Ils n’ont pas inventé le punk rock, et ils n’ont pas été le premier groupe punk britannique à se produire ou à enregistrer, mais aucun groupe n’a autant contribué à faire du punk un phénomène culturel mondial que les Sex Pistols. En un peu plus de deux ans, leur succès de scandale les a propulsés de l’obscurité totale à une infamie planétaire : adulés par les adeptes du punk rock, détestés par presque tout le reste de la population, et victimes de poursuites judiciaires comme d’attaques de justiciers autoproclamés en Angleterre.
Musicalement, les Sex Pistols n’ont rien révolutionné formellement, mais leur rock simple et brut était porté par une puissance et une agressivité presque inédites au milieu des années 1970. Le chant féroce et narquois de Johnny Rotten, tout comme ses paroles accusatrices et provocantes, ont renversé les attentes quant à ce qu’un leader de groupe rock devait être ou incarner.
Même si les médias les traitaient en parias, la force de leur musique et de leur image a résonné auprès d’un public en quête d’alternatives aux sonorités prog ou soft rock alors dominantes. Ce choc a déclenché une révolution dont les échos se font encore sentir aujourd’hui.
Leur seul album studio issu de leur formation originale, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols (1977), est un pilier du punk britannique. En 1980, Flogging a Dead Horse compile les singles fondateurs de leur réputation. Filthy Lucre Live (1996), enregistré lors d’un concert de reformation, est l’un des rares albums live du groupe offrant une qualité sonore décente. Enfin, le coffret 76-77, paru en 2021, rassemble les sessions studio antérieures à Never Mind the Bollocks.

They didn’t invent punk rock, and they weren’t the first British punk band to perform or record, but no band did more to turn punk into a global cultural phenomenon than the Sex Pistols. In just over two years, the group’s success de scandale took them from utter obscurity to global infamy, beloved by converts to punk rock, hated by nearly everyone else, and subject to legal and vigilante persecution in their native England.
The Sex Pistols’ music was not formally groundbreaking, yet their simple meat-and-potatoes rock was filled with a power and aggression that was all but unknown in the mid-’70s, and the ferocious, sneering vocals of Johnny Rotten (as well as his pointed, accusatory lyrics) upended all expectations of how a rock frontman should look or sound.
Even as the media treated them as pariahs, the potency of their music and their image spoke to an audience waiting for something different than the prog and soft rock sounds that ruled the charts in the 1970s, sparking a revolution that is still playing itself out.
The group’s only album from their original incarnation, 1977’s Never Mind the Bollocks Here’s the Sex Pistols, is a cornerstone of British punk, 1980’s Flogging a Dead Horse collected the original singles that earned them their reputation, 1996’s Filthy Lucre Live, recorded at a reunion concert, is that rare Sex Pistols live album with decent fidelity, and 2021’s 76-77 is a box set that collects the band’s pre-Never Mind the Bollocks studio sessions.
