The Official Clash Thread (albums, tracks, quote, bands, youtube)

OIOI!

New person here........Mag 7, that's right y'all.

The Clash ARE the greatest band in rock'n'roll history. Punk? Well you can listen to the first album and say without doubt its punk, but you can't sustain that level of energy for long, so after that they diversified a bit. Sandinista is my favourite album 'cause it is so diverse. I love punk rock but I love the way the Clash could leave it behind and still make great music.

PS. Anyone in the northampton area of UK play guitar or bass want to join ukpunk/reggae band? Not punk and reggae fusion, just both.....in separate songs. Ya get me?

I don't know if anyone has noticed but the Sex Pistols have almost fallen off the face of the earth as far as being the innovators of punk rock. The 2 most essential albums in any true punx collection are 1) RAMONES-RAMONES and 2) THE CLASH-LONDON CALLING. These are all you need, listen to these then start a band

i absolutely love the clash, one of my all time favorite bands for sure. the funny thing is that they werent by any the means the best musicians. they didnt have remarkable talent (although they did write some incredible songs), but just their energy, passion, and sincerity for what they were doing made them a remarkable and insanely influential band.
