Musical Group or Musician

John Lydon (born 31 January 1956), also known as Johnny Rotten, is an English singer-songwriter best known as the lead singer of the Sex Pistols and the founder/frontman of Public Image Ltd (PiL).

On his 1997 solo album Psycho's Path Lydon worked with Leftfield, Moby and the Chemical Brothers; the album experimented with dance and drum'n'bass elements and was a commercial failure despite critical interest.

The review praises John Lydon's willingness to experiment on Psycho's Path (1997), noting collaborations with Leftfield, Moby and the Chemical Brothers. Musically adventurous—disco, drum'n'bass elements and folk touches—the album failed commercially. The reviewer frames the record as bold but misunderstood, and situates it against expectations tied to Lydon's Sex Pistols identity.

For:Fans of punk and post-punk, followers of the Sex Pistols/John Lydon, and listeners interested in late-90s experimental/dance-rock collaborations
