England's Dreaming: Anarchy, Sex Pistols, Punk Rock, and Beyond by Jon Savage

dark emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

4.25

A very detailed look at the rise and fall of punk in England, led by the Sex Pistols.  This book provides a look at how the Sex Pistols came to be and also their downfall.  They really did not function as a cohesive unit, but rather a group of dysfunctional individuals.  As a result they were in existence for a very short period of time.  The book also compares punk in London to punk in NYC.  In addition, because the punk movement was very closely related to the political climate in England at the time there is some discussion of that as well
