A fellow music lover recently reminded me of my love for John Lydon's (formerly Johnny Rotten) P.I.L. creativity. Although I had discovered them mid-way in there career as I was a young teenager when "This Is What You Want... This Is What You Get [1984]" came out, I was really diggin the sound, it was much different than anything else i was hearing at the time. I remember running out to buy "Happy?" the day it came out and shortly after I was on my way to vacation in Australia with my parents. "Happy?" brings back so many memories.
I will have you all know that I was very into P.I.L. before I ever heard anything by the Sex Pistols. I don't think I heard anything by the Sex Pistols until after "9" came out. I know many of you will think I am crazy but I still today prefer P.I.L. over the Pistols.
I was able to see Johnny and friends on the "9" tour, and I must say even know it was late in there career he really knew how to put a show on, I enjoyed every minute of it.
if you haven't heard these please give em a listen. They are still fresh today and sound completely original , ESPECIALLY my personal favorites "Second Edition [1980]" "This Is What You Want... This Is What You Get [1984]" and of course "Happy? [1987]"
