Love the Clash.
Love London Calling and Sandinista! Although Sandinista isn't perfect by any means, I still regard it as one of their best. Not many punk bands had the guts to be that experimental.
I hear people argue about what's punk and what's not. But, in my eyes, the Clash were true punks. Not only did they help fashion the genre, they REJECTED categorisation into that genre. And rejecting punk is so much more 'punk' to me than deliberately shaping yourself to fit into a punk mould.
