Aaaah Green Day had some credibility in the industry back in the day. It would be unfair to deny that in light of their recent musical travesties.
And the comparison is apt, to me, if for no other reason than The Clash left a definite imprint on Greenday's sound, though Stiff Little Fingers, as Nick Hornby appropriately said, had a far greater impact on them than anybody....but I digress.
I like the Sgt. Peppers comparison, though I find it hard to compare anybody's body of work to that of the Beatles. They churned out some of the most revolutionary music ever in such a short, short span of time.
But I think the same might be able to be said of the Clash, though not many would admit it.
