“No Feelings” by The Sex Pistols

"No Feelings" is on Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, the band's only studio album, which Virgin put out on 28 October 1977, and its writing credit is split four ways between Paul Cook, Steve Jones, John Lydon and Glen Matlock. Matlock wrote his share but doesn't play on it: he left early in the sessions, and the only track with his bass on it is "Anarchy in the U.K." Cook and Jones play on every cut, and singer Johnny Rotten is on all of them too.

Chris Thomas and Bill Price took turns running the sessions, sometimes working together, and the finished songs were often stitched together from mixes of different sessions. The result was an album whose raw energy and sneering, half-sung vocals are often called game-changing, and it went straight in at number one in Britain.
