By the time the Clash came to record London Calling, they began to delve into different genres, notably reggae, and I think they lost some of their punk edge in the process.
Still, a great band though.

No one here's saying it is. I doubt you'll find anyone who has ever claimed that one of the great postpunk albums is a distillation of 1977 punk. Marie was talking about something else.
