I don't like Kick Out the Jams that much. The title track is great, but that's it. I bought it because of its influence on punk, but when I heard it I thought "isn't this something that those early punk bands would oppose?" I mean, 8 minute songs, crappy lead guitar interplay, and all those "brothers and sisters" references? (I know that's not what's said in the title track, but I'm sure that phrase is somewhere on the album).
The Sex Pistols are one of my favourite punk bands. I don't get it when people say that they couldn't play, or they were a manufactured boy band, not really punk, or just an imitation of better American bands. (I know this isn't really an unpopular opinion, I just wrote this because everyone was putting the Pistols at the end of their favourite punk bands lists).
