THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.
27-Sex Pistols-Pretty Vacant.
1977-Number 6 single.
Best Bit-At 0.26.Arguably the best ‘Boy Band’ in the world ever, and as a added bonus, they were pretty……..vacant.
The Sex Pistols are arguably the most influential band in the development of Popular Music since the mid 1970’s, with many of the most talented artists of the 1980’s and 1990’s stating a debt to them, these include Morrissey, Oasis,Nirvana, the Stone Roses, John Cooper Clarke, Guns N’ Roses and many, many more. I think it is fair to say that dozens of songs that appear in this countdown have been inspired by the Punk movement of the mid to late 1970’s.
As with many of the Sex Pistols songs, writing credits are given to all five members, but this track is mainly the work of the bands bassist Glen Matlock, in fact he had a major input in the majority of the tracks on the Sex Pistols only Studio Album ‘Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols,’ although fellow band members Paul Cook and Steve Jones dispute just how much.
For me ‘Pretty Vacant’ oozes sarcasm, Johnny Rotten (see also best songs 967-576-323 and 92) who wrote some of the songs lyrics is saying, (in my opinion) what is the point of trying to tell you what we think because you ain’t gonna listen, you don’t think we have a brain capable of understanding, but the telling line when the sarcasm stops is, ‘So stop you’re cheap comment, ‘cos we know what we feel.’
‘I got no reason, it’s all too much, you’ll always find me out to lunch.’
