The Far Out Pub Quiz: Who was John Lydon talking about in these quotes?

Far Out · 2 hours ago

Far Out Magazine has published a pub quiz built around John Lydon, the former Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd frontman known for his outspoken and often scornful assessments of fellow musicians. The piece frames Lydon's tendency to criticise other artists as a defining trait dating back to punk's earliest days, extending from his bandmates and manager Malcolm McLaren through to countless acts across the decades, and invites readers to test how well they know his various targets.

The quiz presents ten notable quotes in which Lydon disparages or dismisses different bands and artists, with the names redacted as blanks for readers to guess. It touches on recurring themes in his commentary, including his dim view of modern punk and his frequent criticism of American groups claiming to have influenced punk's origins, positioning the feature as a light-hearted way to engage with his decades of trademark vitriol.
