I never bothered with Strummer solo or with BAD or BAD II. I actually bought Sandinista on a whim, and though I don't regret it I probably don't need any other Clash albums.
The first incarnation of BAD did some interesting reggae-tinged songs. BAD II not so much. Rush is an amusing novelty song I suppose; their other big hit, The Globe, annoys me no end with what sounds like synthesised sneezing in the intro, and its sampling of "Should I Stay Or Should I Go".
The Clash are the only punk band whose music I was ever tempted to own.
Strummer regretted sacking Mick Jones. Apparently he spent some time tracking him down in an attempt to convince him to return to the band, but by that time Jones was doing his own thing.
