Never a great fan of Punk at the time, enjoy some now, but still can't get the *** Pistols Punks fabricated boyband.
Whilst that is true and also in the case of The Clash, those 2 bands had singers who connected with the disaffected youth and in Malcolm McLaren and Bernie Rhodes, visionary managers who helped alter the course of music in this country
Always preferred The Clash myself from London Calling onwards
My favourite is Paddy McGinty's Goat by Val Doonican.Originally Posted by BlueAdder

I can't really argue with that Oz, it wasn't their finest, still good though imo.
Best Clash for me would probably be Complete Control or White Man in Hammersmith Palais, close call though, so many classics.
Overall from that era probably SLF At The Edge.[/quote]
2 apologies for you.1 for thinking you was a skunt(you have every right to shoot me)and secondly Rock the Casbah is not the worst.I forgot all about This Is Radio Clash...that was diabolical.
As for favourite "Garageland" was great first time I heard it and 34 years later I still crank it.
Love the Libertines "What A Waste" if that can be classified as punk.Pretty hard to define nowadays.

My goodness, what a thread!
On this whole clash/pistols debate I too side with the Clash. The foundations they laid for the punk bands I know and love today were clear to see, not to mention the whole ska/punk sub-genre that I credit them with being the forefathers of.
