Except Cut the Crap

They should probably skip Cut the Crap

Please give the first two albums a listen. I was 17 when the first album came out and it changed my life.

Who are they? lol

I used to have hair right down my back but I am middle aged now and the tragedy of long hair is it can look great when your young and terrible when your old and there in lies the tragedy of long hair for men. Ah but I looked great when I was young and modest too!

Van Halen chuckles at that

He probably will! LOL. But GoB is pretty obscure for the average American teenager these days. I would have mentioned Rock the Casbah, SISOSIG instead

There were 4 members of The Clash.

Midnight to Six man!

How old are you OP? Maybe that has to do with it.

red morning light, revelry, on call, taper jean girl, waste a moment

Black sabbath, the whole Paranoid album. If you don't like metal/rock Then Idfk Michael Jackson 😂

Listen to White Riot by the Clash.

Check out Joe Strummer’s wiki page.

The Clash walked the walk with the working class, they are my punk heroes.

Not since the 90s

The new albums alright, but the first two or three were completely different and absolutely awesome, slow night so long and Velvet snow are my faves

Their debut album is incredible. I’ve always been partial to ‘Camaro’ as well.

You sure ask a lot of questions, boy.

Next you’re gonna tell us you’ve never listened to Guns of Brixton.

Oh the people must have something good to read on a Sunday….

Saw the Clash at the Aragon in Chicago back in the day! Great show - from what I remember 😆

The best of the punk bands from the 70s, the best and most artistic musicians, a wide range of genre and sounds they could do very well, political and had a lot to say. Their artistry evolved quite a bit over a short span. I recommend listening to their albums in order to see the evolution

You csnt drop grosse point soundtrack without a femmes shout out

"Onamission" by Gurridyula

You know I honestly think Combat Rock is the superior album, if not the more influential. Leaving aside people's annoyance with Rock the Casbah, there some insanely catchy tunes and original material in there. 'Ghetto Defendant' and 'Red Angel Dragnet' are big faves.

OP, you should check out the soundtrack to a great movie, Grosse Pointe Blank. It's all this genre/era of music and has some excellent Clash tunes, and was put together by Clash frontman Joe Strummer. Armegideon Time is one of my favorites. Also the Pogues are definitely the next band you should check out.

This song is proof they could produce in nearly any genre!

This is straight up power pop, Train In Vain is an infectious pop song if there ever was one, not as “big” as “Rock The Casbah” but a pop song. London calling has: pop/power pop, punk, ska, rockabilly, rock n roll! I think the only thing missing is marching band music.

Alway’s in the top 50 lists of greatest albums of all time for good reason. The Clash were @ the height of creativity for them at the time.

A greatly influential band that left a mark on music, the only band that mattered!

Here’s a tidbit Joe Strummer and the band demanded that “London Calling” be priced as a single album although it was a double record set and won! How many artists/bands would fight their own record company over retail pricing?

Manhattan is far and away my favorite. A lot of good ones but that one just hits different.
