    The Clash is fucking awesome, by far the best punk band ever.
    Right now I'm listening to Sandinista, it reminds me very much of No Code because it's so experimental.

    Favourite songs are, White Riot, Tommy Gun, The Sound Of Sinners and Rudie Can't Fail.

    What's so fucking cool about the clash is that they were more punk in their music buisness ideals than in their music.

    Taking royalty cuts on London Calling and Sandinista just to get them out there the way they wanted is truly above and beyond what most any other band would be willing to do.

    I believe that the royalties for the first 200,000 copies of Sandinista were deferred to the record company . That takes balls

    does anyone know where I can get sales numbers for the only band that matters? specifically for Sandinista as that comment got me thinking.

    i got into a lot of bands in 05. one of them was the Clash and I have to say theyre just so much fun to get into. Amazing music, great people. Definately one of my all time favorites

    Check out Joe Strummer & the Mescelaros too, how underrated!
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    Some die just to live.
