Best things about the Clash for me were....

1, Safe European Home, Complete Control, Deny, lots of Sandinista (Lose This Skin, Version City, Corner Soul, If Music Could Talk, Broadway, Shepherds Delight - all exceptional tracks).

2, Topper Headon - exceptional drummer and talented musician - without him - no Rock the Casbah or much stuff on Sandinista.

3, Blockheads helping out - no Norman Watt Roy, no Magnificent 7.

4, The likeable infallible chap that was Joe Strummer. Complicated, confused but with great spirit.


The worst thing about the Clash's legacy for me is the ongoing opinion that London Calling is a classic LP - its not - its a classic title track and the rest are fillers.
