these li'l dudes have gone a long ways in a short time- unfortunately, the nature of today's world of compressed media is 'who?/HOT/*poof*'... but they are moving the needle in a unique manner, like when *blank* first came out.

-focus on the 'first came out' part:

they don't seem to be the creation of a marketing svengali (Pistols)

cats ain't have deals before this deal (Dr. Dre/RZA/GZA)

they young as hell (unlike Chuck/Flav)

The Clash were inspired by the shift in the rules brought about by the Sex Pistols

crazy troubled youth flag-bearers- Suicidal Tendencies?

bastard children of MF Doom?

man, prolly wind up as 'none of the above' if they don't come with new songs that exceed their energy/imagery...

-but i'll be damned if the Sex Pistols have any more than 3 songs that anybody other than a fanatic can name off the top; their whole thing was attitude & energy at the right economic time.
