Today in 1976, The Sex Pistols released their incendiary "Anarchy In The U.K." single. It was the only Sex Pistols recording released by EMI before the label dropped the group, after the band used profanity during a live television broadcast. "Anarchy in the U.K." is number 56 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
