I tried to make a sort of policy for myself with this list and not include multiple tracks from the same album. I have SO many records. The point was to stretch this profile out to cover most everything I owned. Occasionally there are some albums that were just too good to get a single selection though. Or in the case of The Sex Pistols, they only have one album, and that one album is so great that you just have to give it some extra attention."Holidays in the Sun" literally comes marching right out of the first side of "Never Mind The Bollocks," the landmark album the Pistols made in 1977. When this song comes on, my boys hear the military intro and start marching in place. When Steve Jones' killer guitar comes in, they just lose their minds. I totally encourage this kind of madness too. What's better than watching a six and an eight year old jumping all over the house to the tune of The Sex Pistols? Then when I show them how Johnny Rotten used to look when he "sang," they get all demented with some bizarre combo of punk rock meets the elementary school playground. "Kidz Bop" would never garner such a reaction!
"Holidays In The Sun" is from the album "Never Mind the Bollocks." To hear the song, click on the icon in the widget jukebox along the side of the blog.
