I just started listening to them again after reading the "Rip it up and start again" chapters about PiL, it gave it a good amount of context as to how they evolved as a band. PiL's first album blows away anthing the pistols did, it's like comparing Pavement to WHitesnake (not that i'm totally bashing the pistols, first hearing nevermind the bollocks was a key point in getting me into various bands, but the music is pretty dull)
and metal box completely upped the ante
