I was very influenced by the Sex Pistols and in particular by Johnny Rotten. I almost never listen to them these days but P.I.L. is always in rotation. Second Edition is the one I listen to the most. The pistols were a neccessary force most importantly to lay the groundwork for so many bands to branch out in to many interesting directions but P.I.L. was a vastly more interesting band musically. This album is so many things. Haunting, disturbing, purging, pure post-punk poetry.
