"Kiss This" is a compilation album by the English punk rock band, the Sex Pistols. Released in 1992, the album serves as a retrospective collection of the band's biggest hits. The Sex Pistols, consisting of members Johnny Rotten, Sid Vicious, Steve Jones, and Paul Cook, among others, were pivotal in driving the punk rock movement in the United Kingdom during the late 70s.
The album "Kiss This" includes key tracks like ‘Anarchy in the U.K.’, ‘God Save the Queen’, and ‘Pretty Vacant’, which all reflect the group's rebellious approach towards the British system. Also featured on the album is Sid Vicious's version of 'My Way', a song initially made famous by Frank Sinatra but reinterpreted in the band's signature punk style.
The release of "Kiss This" came long after the Sex Pistols' breakup in 1978, offering a concise amalgam of their groundbreaking music. The compilation, with its 20 tracks, encapsulates the band’s short yet highly influential career. Despite reports of internal conflict and personal struggles, the band's chaotic existence did not overshadow their musical contributions, which continue to inspire countless bands and music aficionados alike.
The Sex Pistols are widely recognised for their cultural impact, addressing societal issues with their work and igniting a rebellious spirit in many of their listeners. The album "Kiss This" is a testament to their enduring influence in the music industry, chronicling the unforgettable legacy of one of punk rock's most iconic bands.
