As a singles collection, you get the obvious stuff. But listening to this CD and hearing the progression from the first punk anthems, to the later reggae, rock, pop and even hip-hop ('The Magnificent Seven') experiments, you realise why The Clash was such an influential band. Also - and this is very rare among modern rock bands who start to experiment with different genres - it never sounds forced; you only hear 'the sound of The Clash' and that's a great part of why they were called 'The only band that matters'.
