I went to the pictures last year to watch The Future is Unwritten, and to be honest Strummer did come across as a bit of a......errrrr......two hat, but are not all the good ones like that?
It is easily said, but London Calling is an immense album, with Sandinista for me confirming that this band were not your average punk band and actually were quite interesting and crossed quite a few genres in their time.....being quite adventurous with their music, something which I think they dont get enough credit for.
It also needs to be said that Mick Jones produced the greatest British album of the last ten years with The Libertines' Up The Bracket, which in my view gave the British scene a good kick up the rear.
So all things considered, its a yes
