Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

Listening to PiL recently, it occurred to me yet again: John Lydon really is some sort of twisted genius, isn't he? Even if you're not a Sex Pistols fan, deny the career of Public Image Ltd. at your peril. His 2005 comp The Best of British One Pound Notes is pretty effin' stunning, encompassing the best of the Pistols, the PiL highlights, and even great one-offs such as Time Zone's "World Destruction" (Lydon + Afrika Bambaataa + Bill Laswell = brilliance) and the Leftfield/Lydon collab "Open Up" - highly recommended.
