You didn’t know Marrakesh Express?I've always enjoyed the sound of CS&N (&Y). I like the vocal harmonies. I've never actually listened to any full albums before. The only thing I really recognized off this was the Suite: Judy Blue Eyes. 3.5/5 for me.
....maybe? Unless I just thought it was part of Judy Blue Eyes. I'll have to go back and listen.You didn’t know Marrakesh Express?

I honestly haven’t listen to much PIL outside of whatever MTV deemed to play on 120 Minutes. The Sex Pistols are probably my least favorite of the big original Punk Bands, although I am coming around to an appreciation of them. I think I pulled this in the other thread. I listened to it for some reason recently enough anyhow. It’s pretty interesting and I could see why you would have that take.I haven’t chimed in on this thread in a long time, but I will hot take that Public Image Ltd. has a greater musical legacy than the Sex Pistols and is a greater reward of repeated listens.
Yeah, Metal Box/Second Edition is the one that does it for me and is my favorite work involving Mr. LydonI honestly haven’t listen to much PIL outside of whatever MTV deemed to play on 120 Minutes.

History debates this. I’ve never sat down with dates but at least on this side of the pond the narrative is Punk happened in two places at once.I don’t think that’s too hot a take. Most post punk is way more interesting than the initial burst of punk. It’s equally hard to argue in the inverse it’s as big or important as that initial burst because without punk hitting the zeitgeist through “God Save The Queen” and then “Never Mind The Bollocks” there never would have been the whole post punk scene, they all preach their indebtedness to the Pistols.

PIL would not have happened without The Sex Pistols but I think PIL is a more interesting bit of influence on what happened after.
Or as having an important part in the development of the house music scene…Wouldn't have pegged Public Image Ltd as the kind of band that would have a 9 minute opening track...but yet here we are.
Why does this song need to be 9 minutes long???? I get it, guitar noises, screaming.... Let's just end this at 3 minutes and get on with it.Wouldn't have pegged Public Image Ltd as the kind of band that would have a 9 minute opening track...but yet here we are.
