I can't believe I'm even reading this. I need to clear my head before I say anything to either of you....
OK. I'll try to keep this neighborly.
First off, Straw, I essentially respect what you say. You at least seem to have a somewhat well thought out idea of what you're saying. But I'd argue that there's so much more to Combat Rock than "Rock the Casbah" and "Should I Stay or Should I Go," man! Yeah, those songs are pretty hokey and overdone, but what about "Straight to Hell?" What about "Ghetto Defendant?" And why does it matter that they were perceived as sellouts? And what the fuck does that mean, anyway? A bunch of half-dead smack addicts didn't appreciate that they weren't as linear-minded musically as they were? Were they sellouts because they refused to make every album sound identical to some hackneyed idea of what punk rock was supposed to be at that time?
And you, Tragicone....hmmm. This isn't going to be so easy. OK, I realize that you're just an impressionable kid and that some idiot has obviously been shoveling this shit into your head. I can sense that and I truly do feel for you. But whoever told you that is not one to be taken seriously, man. To not like The Clash is one thing. But to cite The goddamned Sex Pistols as an example of what The Clash should have been, or whatever.... WHAT?! Yes, they were sort of amusing in their way. They were funny and they made for a cute little story. But they were a goddamned gimmick, dude! Didn't anyone ever clue you in to that? They were about as genuine as fucking Destiny's Child! And you wanna talk about sellouts? Malcolm McLaren created them - built them from the bottome up - to make money and to help sell his shitty clothes! What exactly would you call that? Look - just listen to some actual music before you go spouting off some shit you overheard at Hot Topic last Friday, alright? You might figure it out eventually. Until then, stop embarrassing youself.
So much for neighborly....

Actually, the Clash didn't actually start making money until 1982. They insisted that their records be cheap (double albums for a fiver? Yes please!) and their tickets reasonably priced. They were actually the cheapest show going with that kind of draw.
They did this, often, by giving up their share of royalties for a certain number of sales as well as surrendering advances. So they didn't actually start making money until 1982, long after everyone figured they'd "sold out".
Meanwhile, most other punk bands around, especially the Sex Pistols, were greedy and nihilistic, buying into elements of Thatcherism.

Wow, tragicone, mucho respect for the devilish honesty. Mucho...respect. Also, just look at my icon. I feel as though I may be punk enough to be considered, although I actually enjoy Rock the Casbah (Gasp! A song that appeals to the masses? You...you sellout!). And the Sex Pistols were fools masquerading as punks, and I have little respect for them. In fact, punk really just started to slowly die, except for a brief and dim light in the form of Joy Division. Anyway, Clash good, I am very punk, look at me, I'm great.
That was meant to be self-deprecating, not a shot at you fellows.

The Clash could definitely be driving when they wanted. Check out their fist album, the self-titled one, especially the song "Complete Control". It has one of the most badass opening riffs ever.

For me, "Combat Rock" was not so much a statement, or a cohesive album thematically, or really a collection of songs, but rather similar to what I felt like Bowie was doing with "Tonight" and "Never Let Me Down"; that is to say, an attempt to cash in on a sound which creation they were largely responsible but doing it 6 years later than everybody else and 2 years after completely everybody had moved on.
I like a couple songs off "Tonight," but only a couple, and, certainly, Bowie's decline since "Scary Monsters" was a bit more precipitous than the Clash's from "London Calling." The criticism is not so much that between their club days through their record debut they didn't toe the party line as did their punk and now largely forgotten contemporaries in 75-77, but that they seemed to start doing exactly that 5 years after Lydon -- not unironically with a little help from Keith Levene -- made everybody realize what a sham and load of shit the entire scene and the late John F. Rotten, Esq., was before and during. It certainly doesn't help that "Combat Rock" came out the year I was born so I had the unique benefit of being sick to death of the hit singles before the second grade.
So, it seems to me, that the Clash were victims of history. That they remained innovative when everyone wanted -- and received -- a bunch of Sex Pistols clones damned them in their most productive days, and their citing and trying to revive exactly what they had been shun for not doing when everybody had long been and remained sick of it. That may be why the two most innane and mainstream-friendly songs on that album are all most people remember about it.
As for the other fellow: it could have been worse. He could have been looking at a Rolling Stone. (Though the Hot Topic knock reminded me of the days when I'd see people wearing their Hot Topic-purchased Pistols shirts talking trash about Backstreet Boys, and how that made me smile!)

Of all the terms I could think of to use to describe those groups, "calming" would have to rank somewhere near the bottom of a list that didn't even exist.
But I understand your argument about age differences. It just reminds me of how lucky I was to have been successfully exposed to both Pink Floyd's The Wall and Jethro Tull's Aqualung as a young, young boy. You can laugh, but those two albums really helped to steer me in the right musical directions later in life. I mean, I could have been listening to Debbie Gibson, or something.

As a man of the same audience as you I must disagree greatly. When these band came out I knew that they were a bucket of balls. Just because you are young doesn't mean that you have to accept everything as being good.
After all, I never found any of those boybands' songs to be particularly catchy, in fact, I don't think that I can remember any of the songs of this genre. At this time I was listening to other bands that had songs that you could actually like, not be convinced that you like.

word on the street is:
boybands are okay, the clash is good but not interesting, the sex pistols are not something you listen to and take seriously as punk rock, noise is the new punk rock even though it predates rock itself by about 50 years.

No, Spin is far worse than Rolling Stone...and I'm not a fan of Rolling Stone. At least Rolling Stone still reviews albums. Have you looked at Spin in the last few years? They review the same number of albums in a month that Rolling Stone reviews in a week. I'd rather read Maxim fucking Blender than either one, though.
Spin doesn't even know what it wants to be anymore, I can't believe it hasn't gone out of business yet.

Not sure it's fair to compare the sex pistols to Destiny's child; for sure Mclaren 'created' them, whereas the Clash came about naturally, but there was something punk there to start with - mclaren just gave it a bit of direction. Like for instance, they squatted for a time, and steve jones was a thief, etc.

Though I listened to punk as a teenager (I skateboarded, it was a given), I always avoided the Clash...mainly because I always figured the band, and the fans, seemed kind of preachy (yet I listened to Bad Religion, go figure). I didn't start listening to them until my mid 20's.
I was a foolish, foolish child.

I go to jukeboxs after a medley of Britney and Aguilera to fix the audio in the air. I push in my coins select the clash, and find nothing...I back away from the machine and don'teven ask for my money back. Some 8 year old used my credits to play The Strokes covering "Clampdown" clever bastard. There is hope yet.

I absolutely love the music debate going on under this strip. Seriously, you guys occasionally do some pretty stupid stuff on assetbar but this is a better debate on The Clash than a helluva lot of the music boards I go on can muster.
For my money, not only are they one of the most important British punk bands but you can't understate their influence on bringing reggae and ska into the forefront of music, as well. Strummer was one of the greats, and this strip deserves hundreds of 5s.

The Clash fucking rule, if you believe anything else to be true you are basically terrible.

Being a person who absolutely hates punk, I say this: The Clash were pretty awesome. They made punk actually interesting.
