After the first ever TV appearance of the Sex Pistols, on the Granada Television show So It Goes in August 1976, presenter Tony Wilson's immediate reaction to their performance of 'Anarchy in the UK' was: "Bakunin would have loved it." --Sholem Stein

"Anarchy in the U.K." is the title track of the first single by Sex Pistols, released on November 26 1976 (B-side "I Wanna Be Me"). It was the second UK Punk rock single, preceded by The Damned's "New Rose".
