Oh alrght then, just for you:

Joe Strummer is thorougly over-rated as a guitarist, and The Clash are unmitigated wank.

(Am I doing it right now?)

Derek · 07.29.2009, 05:27 PM

Yes Melly! YES!

07.29.2009, 05:27 PM

yeah, the mc5 are crap.

automatic bzooty · 07.29.2009, 05:31 PM

clash hatin' is certainly unpopular with me. unless yr dissing sandinista, fuck that shit.

07.29.2009, 05:33 PM

i've seen mick jones walking down oxford st. on sunday night, and i wanted to stop him to tell him that the clash were shit, but he looked fatigued and tired. Maybe he was tired of being rubbish for so long.

Mick Jones always looked a bit fatigued and tired when he was in the clash too. the price you get for being in a shit band, i suppose. He looked far more sprightly in Big Audio Dynamite, what with his big baseball cap.

sandinista is fucking shit

rock the casbah is also a pile of wank

demonrail666 · 07.29.2009, 05:43 PM

sandanista's alright really. i definitely prefer it over any other clash album. probably because large parts of it sound fuck all like the clash.

Satan · 07.29.2009, 05:45 PM

i love a good blasting of should i stay or should i go on the stereo once in awhile

combat rock is kind of shit though except without straight to hell we wouldn't have the fantastic "paper planes"

07.29.2009, 05:45 PM

Do you think that if he slept more regularly the clash would have turned out to be less shit?

automatic bzooty · 07.29.2009, 06:13 PM

i like combat rock. about half of it, anyway. straight to hell is their best song.

give em enough rope sucks, too.

edit: i was going to say that the clash would have been better off without mick jones but then i remembered cut the crap. haha.

good point

Satan · 07.29.2009, 07:37 PM

straight to hell is nowhere NEAR their best song
that is easily the most flippant statement i have ever heard in my life

demonrail666 · 07.29.2009, 07:51 PM

magnificent seven is their best song. and even that's shit.

automatic bzooty · 07.29.2009, 09:20 PM

i knew i should've thrown in that "pretty much" somewhere.

well, if it's not straight to hell, it's guns of brixton.

Satan · 07.29.2009, 09:29 PM

i like them. i dunno. i think people expect too much of musicians.

Satan · 07.29.2009, 09:40 PM

i totally see where youre coming from. i agree for the most part. i prefer crass myself.

i think i like the undertones more than i like any punk band

Decayed Rhapsody · 07.29.2009, 10:14 PM

Only songs I've heard by The Clash in my entire life are: White Riot, Rock The Casbah, London Calling, Guns of Brixton. I always thought of them as an angry pop band.. not really punk.

I also agree about the punk and politics bit. Rarely does music that is political from the get-go turn out to be something worthwhile as MUSIC. This is why I still can't get behind Bikini Kill. Yet I really like Huggy Bear. Anyway, here is an example of shitty political music, a thoroughly uninspired commentary on white privilege: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8popa7M4tI
