Sad to discover in a recent Classic Rock, that the great session guitarist Chris Spedding (along with playing in Nucleus, Sharks, Roy Harper Band, Roxy Music) scotched the long term rumour that he had invented the opening riff on the SP's first single (but apparently he was involved in its production). A good story whilst it lasted. ------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

Hard to choose between the first 2 but I think GSTQ has more power.
Not that I ever listen to the SPs anymore.

| I've never owned any of these singles but Holidays in the Sun is my favorite Pistols song. |

I like 'em all. but "Anarchy in the UK" is so anthemic. That'll get my vote. I am an anarchist, I don't care about politics. I just want to kick in some heads. For some reason I always imagine those as being lyrics from that song, and sing them to the tune, even though they are not. I've always really liked Pretty Vacant. "Oh we're so pretty, oh so pretty ... vacant". "God Save the Queen" is amusing, but I rather prefer this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSoAV5TYYCc" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSoAV5TYYCc "I Hate the Bloody Queen" - The Queen Haters (SCTV) |

Damn, very tough call actually.
Either Anarchy or God Save the Queen for me.
Pretty Vacant is the underdog of these choices but that's a good one, every time I hear it I think of Ralph Bakshi's American Pop, for which the song was used. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/kingboobs/?chartstyle=LastfmSuicjdeGirls" rel="nofollow">

Still haven't voted yet. Probably between Holidays and Vacant. Nice to see (so far) a lack of negativity. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

A Pistols poll on PA ? I like all of them. I like Holiday In the SUn most. But I will vote for God Save the Queen just for getting to Numero 'Uno' in Royal Jubilee year. Getting banned in the process ------------- Help me I'm falling! |

Pretty Vacant
I used to do a very facially contorted version of this when I was at college (30 years ago!). ''Oh we're so pretty ,oh so pretty,we're va..cant.'' Rotten sings with an accent so the 'cant' bit sounds like a very rude word

What was the flip side to "God Save The Queen"? It may have been "Did You No Wrong".
There's a favorite of mine.
Holidays In The Sun.
