* WTHCastingAgency: The 1986 QuestionableCasting: While they were never officially inducted into the band, the lineup of session musicians included on ''Album'' raised more than a few eyebrows among punk fans. Being co-produced by Bill Laswell, the band, featuring Music/SteveVai, Music/RyuichiSakamoto, album features many other collaborators of his, including Music/RyuichiSakamoto on synths, Bernard Fowler on backing vocals, Music/SteveVai on guitar, and [[Music/{{Cream}} Ginger Baker]], is likely not beloved Baker]] on drums. While Sakamoto and Vai have their share of experience making AvantGardeMusic, they and the album's other session musicians are far-removed from John Lydon's punk roots, resulting in their inclusion being met with skepticism from punk fans.

* BrokenBase: The band's shift to more commercially-accessible music from ''This Is What You Want... This Is What You Get'' to ''That What Is Not''. One camp of fans see the move as a betrayal of Public Image Limited's ethos of rejecting rock as we know it, selling out and appealing to the masses they had spent their last three albums purposely alienating. Other fans saw the move as a breath of fresh air after the absolute mindfuckery that was ''The Flowers of Romance'', and point out how despite the band becoming more commercial for a while, they were still rejecting conventional rock, albeit [[AlternativeRock in a different way than before]].
