Re The Clash:
Inglorious, I'm mostly with you on this one. Pinkpapercut, I admit that their faux-Marxist, 'working-class-hero' shtick did grate somewhat, especially since, as you rightly point out, in reality they were actually quite posh. But really, you can't fault the quality of their songs. White Riot, Remote Control, White Man in Hammersmith Palais, London Calling, Train In Vain, Should I Stay Or Should I Go - all stone-cold classics. IMHO, the only other band of that era that had as high an output of great songs was The Jam. The Clash were also musically far more adventurous than most of their peers amongst the first punks. How many other bands of the time were incorporating elements as diverse as reggae (White Man In Hammersmith Palais), traditional folk (English Civil War) and even funk (check out the bass on The Magnificent Seven!) but still remaining commercially sucessful? Certainly not the Pistols or the Buzzcocks! |

How about Bucks Fizz (Making your mind up). That sucked.
I did have a thing for Nena of 99 Luftballons fame. Not bad for a 48 year old |

Their best period was during the Joshua Tree and Rattle and Hum era, i saw them a couple of times at Wembly, they were incredible, 70'000 + people singing along to some great anthems, second only to the Rolling Stones as my favourite band.

Never been a big fan, but along with Queen stole the show at the original Live Aid. Under a blood red sky, is a classic album.
