I have a lot of respect for the Clash; they made it believable that punk could branch out into other genres. I mean look at the use of reggae, funk, etc. throughout the London Calling album. People called Combat Rock their "sellout" album but it's a pretty weird way to sell out - yeah, "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" and "Rock the Casbah" were mainstream hits, but how the heck does anybody hear the artsy "Ghetto Defendant" or "Sean Flynn" and call it an attempt to reach the mainstream?
I'm babbling. Anyway, Clash is awesome. Only band that mattered.

You musta made a million
The night that Frank Zappa caught on fire
Could you tell us all about it
Keep it short and use my version
Or everyone out there'll think I'm a liar."
