what was their impact on English society? what were they trying to accomplish by upsetting the status quo?
and why would they sign on to major labels, if they weren't about fame or money? i thought that was 'punk rock' was all about.

The Sex Pistols were punk but at the same time they were as manufactured as all the boy bands of the late 90's. They had a sleazy manager who didn't care about punk at all. Johnny Rotten wasn't really punk and Sid Vicious was an absolute poser. I think the Ramones epitomise punk better than anyone.

They started the punk movement, and essentially promoted anarchy. Essentially, to just about any question about the Sex Pistols, the answer is "because they didn't give a f*ck."
Great music, though.

I THINK THEY DID WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO. AS FAR AS THIER IMPACT ON ENGLISH SOCIETY I THINK THEY SHOWED THE BLUE-BLOODS THAT THEY COULD NOT BE STOPPED.LIKE WHEN THE QUEEN WOULDN'T LET THEM PLAY AT HER 25TH JUBILEE.THEY RENTED A BARGE AND DID THIER VERSION OF "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN " THAT SHOOK UP THE SYSTEM.EVERYBODY WANTS MONEY.
THEY SAY THAY THIER NOT BUT THAT'S B.S.

No influence, in it for the money.
