Profile: For a group that lasted less then three years, the Sex Pistols
had an amazing influence. They shocked audiences, but showed that anyone
could play in a rock band and many groups followed their example.
The Sex Pistols are one of the great British punk bands of the second

Rotten" Lydon, Steve Jones, Paul Cook, and Glen Matlock (who was

graphic artist Jamie Reid.
