So were the Clash punk? I'm pretty sure Buzzcocks beat them to releasing anything.
Also, does it matter that much who produced it? If they drastically changed their sound so a board of executives would like it that would be selling out, sure, but if some executives bet, rightly, that a band will sell millions, can we hold that against the band?
