Personally I prefer Moondance or Enlightenment
I watched a Sky Arts program on them just recently, inputs from various chancers plus Mick Jones plus Robin Banks.
They were a good band, one absolute classic album and 2-3 others good. The program was a little over the top all the same.
I could be mistaken but I think one contributor may have referred to them as the best, or most important, band ever.
:nod: Mick Jones' ego span completely out of control there. Not sure what drug he was taking that rendered his critical faculties inoperable while he was insisting on adding complete dross to what should have been a fine album, but I'm amazed that no-one was able to stop him.
Yeah, I'll admit that the hyperbole about them from punk-era cünts does probably poison my feelings about them. In fact, I strongly feel that the whole pùnk thing was a load of old böllocks and that, if they were a good band, The Clash would have been a much better band if they hadn't been hitched to the whole punk thing, which was all posturing nonsense.
Oh fúck it, any excuse really.
