I think J.Lydon was a talent. He did some good stuff with PIL - the first single in 78 is as good as the Pistols' if not better. Peely really loved "Metal Box" and his work with legendary guitarist John McGeogh in the 80's is good. The 86 LP with the hit single is smashing ! BUT, the "Flowers of Romance" LP is maybe the worst, most unmusical LP I've heard in my life...
