SEX PISTOLS

Sex Pistols, who were an English punk rock 'n' roll (rock and roll) band that formed in London in 1975 and broke up in 1978 (though they have occasional reunion tours to this day). They were early players in the punk movement in England and inspired many later musicians. While their initial career lasted only a few years, they are often regarded as one of the most influential bands in the history of modem music. The band was originally Johnny Rotten, Steve Jones, Paul Cook, and Glen Matlock. Matlock was replaced by Sid Vicious in 1977. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 but refused to attend the ceremony, calling the museum "a p**s stain".
