Art rock is a dumb term.

What the hell makes a band art rock? I've heard that term applied to so many bands, but i look up the meaning on Wikipedia and it never matches the band the term is being attached to.

Poop on the Clash. Their experimentations were too skindeep to really be breaking any rules. They made some cool music and had a different sound than a lot of their peers, but they get more credit than they deserve just cause they were more high profile than the more experimental bands.

To be considered to be a part of any genre you don't have to meet all the rules. You can break some rules but still follow others.

My theory is that the Clash were just successful enough for people who don't listen to punk and who aren't confident enough to question genre classifications to deify London Calling as a classic punk album. Not saying it isn't punk, though I'd call it new wave, but that's just why I think nobody questions it.

Well, isn't London calling the album that inspired all the New Wave jerks?

London Calling and Sandinista are both supreme beyond questioning. Any discussion beyond how to more profoundly lay praise suggests a need for institutionalization.

Hmmm you know I was going to review a Megadeth album, but now you got me thinking about the Clash.
