After Blondie hit #1, record companies rushed to sign punk bands. Out of this bum rush came the most irreverent band of all time. What could be more rock n roll than screaming out, “I am the Anti-Christ?” The band attacked corporations, record companies, society, and even Queen Elizabeth II herself. Guitarist Steve Jones admitted their goal was chaos. The more negative publicity they received, the more popular they became. When they realized they were rock stars, they quit. As a result, they were probably the most honest band in music history.
Rock n Roll Moment: During the Queen’s Jubilee, the band attempted to play “God Save The Queen” on the Thames and just outside the Westminster Palace. The band was arrested.
