I remember watching this first time out. Great to revisit. No one has come near to harnessing chaos since. We stupidly thought that this was a template for how music would develop. Shame on us for allowing corporate mentality to dictate what now passes for adventurous music. We are no longer involved in the process. John and Frank where are you they can't hear you...you have been airbrushed out of our consciousness. By people like Simon Cowell who exist only to bury us under a mass of cack.

Jah Wobble's bassline could cause earthquakes and that synthesizer could summon ufo's.

My favourite moment on tv 1980.This blew me away...CLASS!

[Nightmike1989]

Little better than the album version actually, that's one epileptic synthesizer alright, it begins to have a mind of it's own thru this song.

sexy bass playing.

@gsixtysix Totally. And bands these days kiss the asses of the press. Look at old PiL/Sex Pistols interviews. They didn't put up with any interviewer's bullshit. And you're spot on about "militant, jail like school system." It's all about "no child left behind" programs which amount to standardized tests. The results of standardized testing are standardized children. It's also unbelievable that someone would have the gumption to diss a band like Pink Floyd these days(Jay-Z would be equivalent).

@PostPunkFan

back in the sex Pistols days, Lydon used to parade down town London with a "I hate Pink floyd" shirt

total nutcutter attitude

Notice today how many bands do covers of songs from seventies and eighties? 25 years of business facsism and a militant , jail like school system has rendered creativitiy nonexistant.

.it's illegal to be weird

Best version of Careering I have ever come cross. The glitches from Levene's synthesizer are just mind-blowing !! Great post.

[rriffrraff]

fokkin great

[darioargento21]

prophet 5 :)

[SteveResin]

Seminal moment in music

[PostPunkFan]

Also, Keith Levene was the bollocks. Look at him just tapping that synthesizer like a G!

[PostPunkFan]

John Lydon is an underrated songwriter.

[PostPunkFan]

Awesome stuff. Man, think about the era when this came out. People were listening to bullshit like Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles. They came hard with this shit.

[Nazzz65]

Really remarkable.

[PattyBurgers1151]

I like the vocals, but sadly everthing else irritates me, still better than "echoes" though.

[aphex462]

brilliant!!
