I been listening to the clash a lot lately, mainly London Calling and Combat Rock, this is a great band, punk rock but they combine ska, reggae, metal, and other genres elements to their songs, making it likeable by a broader audience, if you do not own it i suggest that everyone listen to London Calling, a GREAT album.

More interesting than other punk bands at the time but didn't make as much impact as some others.

yeah but still made some impact politically, and a LOT musically
