Tackling the 10 best Public Image Ltd. songs is a daunting task. First question is, who exactly is PiL? Yes, there is a recent album called This Is PiL that some might think answers the question, but on PiL’s first record, First Issue, released in 1978, PiL was John Lydon, Keith Levene, Jah Wobble, and Jim Walker. They said they were a communications company not a band. They were interested in making movies, soundtracks, and breaking down the barriers between audience and performers at their live gigs. They wanted to communicate with as many different modes as possible, something that never really came to light (the band spoke a lot about it but never released anything beyond music).
