Yeah - Lydon was the figurehead and attitude personified rather than an active musical participant. That's why PIL's music took a slow nosedive following Metal Box. That album wouldn't sound half as good without Levene or Wobble.

Attitude will only go so far - Mark E Smith is testiment to that which is why there's lots of peaks and troughs in the Fall's musical output.

Thanks for reading what I actually wrote ;-)

Mark E Smith is a good comparison interms of the influence of band mates though I think he is twce the artist. Saying that I think TV Smith would give Lydon a run for his money.
