Regularly cited as the only band that matters by music journos too lazy to look past their own noses, The Clashs later period was marred by over-indulgence, cheap political posturing and right at the end, utter confusion. However, it was their first album that established their modus operandi as a group; social issues, violence and injustice set to the sound of thrashing punk rock. Even now, songs like Janie Jones, White Riot, Whats My Name, Londons Burning and Garageland are bona-fide classics and Strummer remains one of rock and rolls twelve disciples. http://youtu.be/r2iIHup9zKA
