"Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols" (1977)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
The Sex Pistols  "Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols"  1977 (UK)  
We generally prefer "obscure" or "forgotten" records for this hall of fame, but although the Sex Pistols' album is considered a classic and quite popular today, when first released it was actually a commercial dud in most of the world (except Great Britain where it topped the charts.)  But history has been very kind to this album by a manufactured group with "no future" -- it finally went"gold" (500,000 units sold) in the USA 10 years after its release, and then only took another 5 years to reach "platinum" sales (1 million units), while it inevitably ranks high in critic polls of "the greatest albums of all time."
