Joe Strummer

I'm clever enough to know how stupid i am

Musically the guy was one of the most forward thinking of his peers, turning The Clash from already being one of the best punk bands at the time into a driving force music as a whole, with an ear for music from all over the globe.

On stage he looked like a beast, his distinctive guitar-stabbing beign constantly pictured in my mind whenever listening to the first 2 albums, i bet that's the same with a load of punk frontmen. Stylish motherfucker too, whether he was a 50's rocker or a Godfather style Al Pacino lookalike.

He showed that punk bands could be outspoken and show some brains which is carried on through to today. Cool as hell too, and very missed.
