Public Image Ltd - Public Image Video

The first Public Image Ltd LP, First Issue has been a favourite of mine for years. The dense guitars and Lydon's angry lyrics compliment each other perfectly. I'm not a big fan of their later work, but for that one LP they managed something one song short of perfection (you know which one...)

Sparkled with flashes of darkness, inventive instrumentation and exhilarating melodies, it couldn't be any different to Lydon's previous life in the Sex Pistols. The anger in his words is about the only thing the two bands have in common. The one everyone knows from First Issue is very much the signature tune - Public Image. Sharp and danceable, it's one of those great tracks that sounds as fresh today as it did when it came out. Spotted the video over at another blog and couldn't help but post.
