They progressed from London Calling's flirtations with reggae to Sadinista's explorations of dub and rap to Combat Rock's... arena rock. I don't really consider that much of a progression. I think Strummer might have wanted The Clash to continue to expand into new musical territory, but Mick Jones just wanted to be a big arena rock band.
In any case, I wasn't being too serious.
