So?
The Clash progressed, Sadinista...case in point.
They always reserved their right to control what they did, despite pressure from CBS to write "hit" songs...how's that selling out?

and then PM me to thank me

They progressed from London Calling's flirtations with reggae to Sadinista's explorations of dub and rap to Combat Rock's... arena rock. I don't really consider that much of a progression. I think Strummer might have wanted The Clash to continue to expand into new musical territory, but Mick Jones just wanted to be a big arena rock band.

In any case, I wasn't being too serious.

train in vain, white riot, clash city rockers, complete control, the magnificent seven... all kick ass songs

I can't believe I have posted in this but, anyway. Great band their older stuff pawns their later releases but it's all good.

Clash Of The Titans
 

The Clash were the real deal back in the late seventies, early 80s.

You can have that hack Johnny Rotten.

Anyone have the White Riot 7"? It's just White Riot and 1977 but it's a different recording so yea up it if you have, please.

The only Clash album that I have is the somewhat newly released London Calling with a bonus cd and bonus dvd. I've tried to find more but never could, places around here suck.

It depends which version of the album you own.

The American release of the album has the single version on it , but doesn`t have the original album version than was on the British release of the album.

I didn't like the Mescaleros much. The Clash were great. Some great basslines too.
