It is a shame that Joe Strummer died so young. Personally I think he was a better spokesman for his generation than John Lydon, RIP Joe.
John Lydon is the worst, but how can you expect much from someone who was in a band that was put together to sell clothes?

The Sex Pistols was far more than Vivienne Westwood's clothing line. John Lydon has stated it was never about the clothes for the band.

I do not dislike Lydon, I just find him horribly egocentric...so in that respect you could say he is the worst.

Black Market Clash is an under appreciated release by the Clash. Mikey Dread's sound board work is mind blowing.

You hit the nail on the head Gavin, Justice Tonight in particular is Ultra mind blowing! the reverb on rhythm, the bone carving sound in the background, the bell sounds, I love the dub mix on the Call Up & Rock the Casbah as well.

RIP: Mickey Dread

Maybe the correct name will grow on you as well.
