After leaving the Pistols, John Lydon moved on to Public Image, Ltd., or if you prefer PiL. What amazes me is that the man who so tastefully sneered, "I am an anarchist", moved forward from punk and delivered some incredible post-punk and even, dare I say it, alt-rock tunes. "Rise" is perhaps my favorite as it features Lydon's distinctive vocals set to a gorgeuos, swooning late 80s alt-dance track. Listening to the song again, it is like the Cure and Smiths recorded a song in 1988 and gave it up to a legend for the vocals.
