Leader Johnny Rotten changed his name to John Lydon when he left the Sex Pistols and formed PiL, symbolically severing himself from his Punk roots with a band that cut through styles like a rusty saw. Jah Wobble's thick Dub basslines held down the bottom for onetime Clash-er Keith Levine's scathing guitar experiments. PiL's early albums, e.g. <I>Metal Box</I>, came in packaging as unique as their sounds, with Lydon's haunting nasal melodies leading the noisy futurism. Later incarnations turned into Bill Laswell produced musical co-ops -- with eclectic guests that included musicians Steve Vai, Ginger Baker, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Tony Williams -- and poppy New Wave that occasionally fell to the levels of the B-52's on a bad day. At their best, PiL broke boundaries and left a variety of deconstructed anti-rock classics. - Jessy TerryPost-Punken720Mon, 14 Dec 2009 21:56:30 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6384&rws=%2Fpublic-image-ltd%2Ftop-tracks.rss Their original moniker "Carnivorous Buttock Flies" didn't quite make the final cut, but like everything else PiL did, it emphasized their antisocial qualities.
