NotesThe Clash were one of the most exciting bands in the late 70's and 80's. The Clash infused their with reggae, funk, and most importantly punk. They are synonymous with the punk movemment, and simply one of the most influential groups of their generation.
Many great Clash anthems on this two cd collection. London Calling should be another title. Before I forget, there are some great liner notes here for us older types and youngsters who've never heard of these rock & Roll heroes maybe. (My old drummer used to sing. Should I Stay Or Should I go). If you watch some Clash footage on TVs, you'll note the huge crowds these guys used to draw. No doubt. They were huge on MTV with, Rock The Casabar. How about, I Fought the Law an old Sonny Curtis tune. The Essential Clash is loaded with great tunes guys and gals. I wont forget Joe Strummer who passed away from a heart problem about 2002 I believe. This collection came out in 2003. As should be heard on your stereo or computer. On ebay essential Clash!
