Music

Public Image Ltd.: What the World Needs Now...

What the World Needs Now... is the sound of a band not really caring too hard about their current stature. Luckily for the listener, the pros outweigh the cons.

Music

Public Image Ltd.: First Issue

Music

Public Image Ltd.: 9 September 2012 - Brooklyn, NY

Tuna fish burps from the bridge-and-tunnel set and endless, self-indulgent jams make it hard to love John Lydon's post-punk roadshow in performance.
