The Clash

Poll question: The Clash

[Symarip]

1. Few, if any, better

I'll even step out on a limb and say London Calling is the greatest Rock and Roll album of all time.

[abq e streeter]

12. Greatest after 1965 ...I don't think Highway 61 Revisited will ever be topped

I'd put Born to Run ,the 1st Doors and maybe even the Fugs 2nd album as potential runnerups along With London Calling...and Give Em Enough Rope is right there too.

by order of awesomeness

[Throd]

[redqueen]

10. well, that's pretty damn cool!

it was Sid Vicious version of My Way that did it for me! And then various female punks after that!



But the Clash are still amazingly awesome.

8. Fuckin A+

[ghostsofgiants]

9. Most definitely one of the greatest bands of all time.

:thumbsup:

11. Wow. All the votes for "fucking awesome" might be as close to a consensus as the Lounge has seen.

[KittyWampus]

14. The Clash bridged a lot of gaps in music history.

[MrSlayer]

15. Put me down for "suck".

And also put me down for vastly overrated pop band.

23. Sargent at Arms, arrest this poster!

The Clash may not be "the only band that matters", but they're definitely in the top 3.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

16. Fucking Awesome.

[Sebastian Doyle]

18. The first three albums were among the best music ever put on vinyl.

And Sandinista and Combat Rock had their moments.

Don't get me started on "Cut the Crap" though. Even if you consider it Strummer's first solo record, it wasn't very good, because that asshat Bernie Rhodes had more to do with the music than Joe did.

[Iggo]

20. Fucking Awesome.

Quite possibly the best rock band ever.

[barb162]

21. Never heard of them.

22. I think the mods need to tombstone anyone who voted "who?"
