Anyone. They're all fantastic.



Streetcore might be the most accessible though.

Yea, get Streetcore. You need patience to listen to Global A-Go-Go and I haven't heard much off of Rock Art.

YES! get a Meskie cd they are so good!!! Streetcore is the one i ahve and its awesome.

Get Down Moses rules.

Oh yes it does, probley my favriote song by them.


Its just as good as your avatar.

Hey was Joe Strummer any good fronting the Pouges? Not being Irish and all, not sure if he could do 'em justice...

I have never heard is work with the Pouges unforutantley, but hey its Joe Strummer, he would have been good fronting NWA haha.

Funnily enough Shane Macgowan got his ear bitten off by his girlfriend in 77 at a clash gig...

Joe Strummer fronting NWA...
It would be amusing. But I don't like NWA anyway.

haha i love em.

Yea i read that in this NME clash mag, who is shane macgowan?

The lead singer of the Pouges. He quit for a while in the early 90's, but they're back together. Shane is awesome, he also had a 2nd rate band for a while called "The Popes". Try and track down the documentary "If I Should Fall From Grace With God", it has high levels of awesome. And we sould probably stop talking about NWA otherwise I'll get back onto my "I Hate Hip-Hop" bandwagon and get banned again...

I still can't see Joe replacing Ice Cube. Can you imagine him opening "Straight Outta Compton"... scary thought.

u left out shane macgowans punk band the Nips they were class gotta a few of their songs here anyway.

far as i no joe done a good job replacing shane my mate has a clip somewhere of joe singing with them.

Hello Clash board. :wave:

I have been spurred on by the activity on this board to listen to an awful lot of Clash lately. Today I have the day off and listened to just about the whole of Sandinista! First time I've listened to it front to back in good many a year, as I usually skip around it.

All I can say is [I]wow[/I]. Perhaps I never noticed before, but this album is brillant. It might be my new favorite from them. I heard things today in this album I had never heard before. Or perhaps I just heard it differently then I have before? Whatever the case, I was knocked out by it.

What are the thoughts of some of you regarding this remarkable album? It's been really nice listening to all this Clash lately and this was just a complete surprise to me. I feel like I've heard it for the first time again, and it's much better this time around. Anybody else enjoy this album in a big way? I think it's stunning.

It's alright, but I don't really dig The Clash post London Calling. Not because I think they sold out or anything, just don't like the more disco/new wave/reggae kinda stuff in comparison to the old classics.

Im the oppostie, i like post London Calling, and most the die hard "clashiniets" like post London Calling more, i dont know why though.

I just like everything...except Cut the Crap, which I haven't heard.

The first three albums are my favorite and Combat Rock is my least favroite. Sandinista is somewhere in the middle.

I saw [url=http://www.myspace.com/hitbyasemi]Hit by a Semi[/url] yesterday at a car show, and as they were setting up they were playing Clash on their PA.

The Clash are everywhere. Can't be stopped or helped.

Anyway, I am listening to Sandinista once again today. Freakin' brillant album. Hitsville U.K. is great. :)

They played Janie Jones which didn't bother me, my favourite Clash song if I was forced at gunpoint to say I liked a Clash song. They also had Police & Theives play and it got stuck in my head.

They weren't that good of a band though. And had everything turned up too loud.

As soon as i get more cash im buying that album.

If they would eliminate the stupid female vocals on Hitsville it could be better.

And was the band playing Janie Jones? Or just on their PA?

Sounds like just the PA. Sean get on MSN more.

You don't like The Clash?

Just wondering, I'm not saying it's stupid or anything.

I don't.

Nick likes their first album. He pretends to hate them much more than he actually does.

I know Skrunnch loves them. He is the honory Clash Whore this week.
