this music sounds about 50 years ahead of its time

I would say that they have blended Afro Beat, Brian Eno-esque sounds and Rotten's vocal in a way that makes them stand out. Plus it was an unexpected turn for Johnny Rotten to take after the Pistols

Public Image Limited was a reality of the 80s. There is no thing such as this cliche "ahead of their time"

A good band is a band that have unique, original and inovative sound. Bands that sound the same(like the wave of rock n roll punk bands of 70)become decisive as a signature for an era. Inovative bands/artists which are alienated from the original wave are not refered an a characteristic of the specific era.

The "ahead of it's time" is a delusion, because of new listeners lack of culture

[tazzman560]

its ahead of its time when you think of the amount of bands that wrote songs of this nature back then, opposed to the ones that do now. Bands like MGMT, Foster the People and loads of other bands wouldnt be around today, or certainly wouldnt sound like they do without a band like this that came far before them.

when people think of music from 10's,20's,30's...80's, 90's, 2000, 2010 they will never think of Public Image Limited .They will not think of Public Image even in 2050...

I think it's right to say this is ahead of it's time. If you place it within the context of the time it came out it most certainly is. If you played this for somebody, I can bet money they wouldn't think it was 1979 or 1980 that this came out. To me that's what makes music ahead of it's time. When you can't classify or recognize it to a certain decade or era. When people think of music from the late 70's and early 80's they think "Disco"....not the music of Public Image Ltd.

Not much, the rich will be a bit richer, the poor will be a lot poorer.

[MrCioCioLoco]

Yeah, how the fuck he'll know how the music will sound in 2030?
