OK...I'm donning my flame retardent suit before I vote on this one.  Let 
it be known that I fully acknowledge the importance of the Sex Pistols.  
I appreciate the attitude and spirit they injected into the rather 
boring mid '70s music scene.  I'm grateful for the influence they had on 
other bands that followed.  But...I simply find their record 
unlistenable!  I've tried to like it and I can't.  Clapton's record is a 
middling effort, but at least I can get through it.
