I beg to differ; their first 3 LPs are by far their best, and represent a genuine pushing of the musical envelope that has proved quite influential.
And yes, they were far more interesting than the Sex Pistols.

I always felt that with 'Album' the whole package really started to come together as a more powerful entity. The seven songs on that LP are all excellent - they had achieved nothing like that level of consistency until that point, in my opinion. Then there were songs like 'Seattle' et al still to come.
I can see that they became slightly less experimental, so to speak, but I always felt that that was a result of years of inventiveness having resulted in the creation of a solid methodology. THey had found a template, if you like, to channel their creativity into consistently better material.
