    that's right, though I wouldn't forget Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers when talking about best punk ever.

    And Joe Strummer solo or with the Mescaleros was awesome as well.

    Just bought Combat Rock on Saturday night. Love listening to Straight to Hell. Reminds me of the Pearl Jam shows (albeit, it always comes at the end of the show).

    Bad Religion only exists because of bands like the Clash. Punk peaked with the Clash's first album. Not that there weren't good punk bands before and after the Clash, but none of them were ever as good as the Clash's self titled. They broadened their horizons after that, but when it comes down to it they were always a punk band.

    couldn't agree more. the clash are the preeminent punk band. no one touched them in the 70s and no one touches them now.

    definately, Global a Go Go is one of my favorite albums of all time

    The Clash are awesome, theres no beating them. I only wish we had gotten some more music out of them.
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    i think u are a bit confused...i never said they weren't a punk band.i like the clash(don't love them though), but they sure aren't better then Bad Religion(and by the way, Bad Religion have been singing for more then 20 years)...

    You're right Bad Religion have been around for 20 years and the Clash still pre-date them by almost a decade.

    Bad Religion also never wrote songs as experiemental or adventurous as the Clash's, for 20 years theyve stayed in almost the same sound..very boring.

    Couldn't agree more.

    The Clash weren't afraid to change styles. Joe Strummer was just amazing and Topper a great drummer.


    Also isn't "This Is England" an underated gem?

    The Clash are not only one of my fav bands but they really are one of the greatest bands there ever was.. Joe Strummer, may he rest in peace, was a fucking genius.
  • allsacredfromyouthallsacredfromyouth Posts: 39
    The Clash are fucking amazing, my favorite band right with Pearl Jam. London Calling has got to be one of the best rock records ever.
    R.I.P. Joe Strummer. You'll be missed.

    If like me you lead a sad life and have nothing to do this Christmas, put on the whole Joe Strummer collection, from the 101ers to the Mescelaros. no one can come close to his genius or variation in style. As much as i love Pearl Jam, i dont think you can ever put The Clash and them in the same league.
