On 24 February 2006, the Sex Pistols-the four original members plus Vicious-were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but they refused to attend the ceremony, calling the museum "a piss stain". In 2004, Rolling Stone placed them No. 58 on its list of the " 100 Greatest Artists of All Time". The Sex Pistols have been recognised as an influential band. Further one-off performances and short tours followed over the next decade. Rotten, Jones, Cook and Matlock reunited for a highly successful concert tour in 1996. Vicious died of a heroin overdose in February 1979, following his arrest for the alleged murder of his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen. Over the next few months, the three remaining band members recorded songs for McLaren's film version of the Sex Pistols' story, The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle. In January 1978, at the end of their over-hyped and turbulent tour of the USA, Rotten announced the band's break-up. The band's only album Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols (1977)-a UK number one-is a staple record of punk rock. It was banned not only by the BBC but also by nearly every independent radio station, making it the "most heavily censored record in British history". Through an obscenity-laced television interview in December 1976 and their May 1977 single " God Save the Queen", attacking Britons' social conformity and deference to the Crown, they popularised punk rock in the UK. Under the management of Malcolm McLaren, the band attracted controversies that both captivated and appalled Britain. Matlock was replaced by Sid Vicious in early 1977. The Sex Pistols originally comprised vocalist John Lydon (known at the time by his stage name "Johnny Rotten"), guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook and bassist Glen Matlock. Their fashion and hairstyles have been credited as a significant influence on punk image, and they are often associated with anarchism within music. They were responsible for initiating the punk movement in the United Kingdom and inspiring many later punk and alternative rock musicians. Although their initial career lasted just two and a half years, they are regarded as one of the most groundbreaking acts in the history of popular music.
Sex Pistols were an English punk rock band that formed in London in 1975.
