Danny Baker was irked when the band turned down the request to appear on his early morning ITV game show "Win Lose Or Draw" back in 1987. Apparentely Brian and John were up for it but due to the recording of Barcelona and Shove It, Freddie and Roger had to pass up the invitation.

He's also wrong: punks did rebel against prog rock. The irony is Roger Waters wrote some really great lyrics attacking the "system" as it was then, in songs like 'Wish You Were Here' and 'Have a Cigar'. His lyrics were just as anti-establishment as the Sex Pistols 'God Save the Queen'.

Anyone who likes ABBA is close to being disqualified from the human race for obscenity IMHO.

Check out Pink Floyd's Animals. If that isn't anti-establishment, nothing is. It's also supremely ironic that The Sex Pistols were completely engineered by a big record company, i.e. The System. They were like a punk-equivalent to The Monkees.
