As if things weren't bad enough here I'm now trying to fight off a cold. Trying to cheer up in the mornings by blasting the Clash on Broadway cd's in the car on the way to work. Sorry you lot but Complete Control played at full blast just has to be the greatest track ever.

Sorry Lee, but played at full blast in the car has to be; any of first 5/6 Undertones singles, or most of the first album, most of 'hypnotised';'WSC' 'babylons burning' 'this perfect day' or a decent handful of Ramones stuff.Clash my ass ;-)

or 'going underground' or 'pump it up' or 'pretty vacant' or 'anarchy in the UK' or several buzzcocks.But nothing by the highly over rated clash.

Cliff - not even the rousing 'Tommy Gun', 'White Riot', 'White Man in Hammersmith Palais', 'I Fought the Law' oh I could go on and on.

nah sorry, 'i fought the law' was OK but not originally by them anyway.

TOTP 2 good with no more heroes followed by Soul II Soul. Rubbish after that!

HOW DARE YOU INSULT THE CLASH cliff!!!!!!

A kid I know through the internet is off to Derry next week, he follows Partick Thistle.They play Derry next Tuesday and I think hes staying at the 'Acorn'....maybe he'll meet the legendary Margaret.

Clash Smlash.vastly over rated, best punk band ever? what a f*cking joke.

Calm down Cliff! You'll give yourself an ulcer. What is it - PDT? Try some AToneatherapy to soothe yourself - works wonders (guaranteed).

Lee, I think you should try some also (along with a few Anadins).

Lindsay - I need more than a few anadin's at the moment. Not enough alcohol in the house unfortunately.

I do like the Clash and the first two albums cant be faulted but they did get worse the more albums they made (except Combat Rock which has some great moments). Triple album - unforgivable, definitely more Pink Floyd than punk. Having said that, at their best live they were hard to touch and they maintained their integrity througout, fighting tooth and nail to prevent their music being used to sell pairs of Jeans. Respect. The only true punk who'll never let you you down is on Graham Norton at 10.30 for those with C4 (sorry Julius). Mr John Lydon but he's still really Rotten.

Cliff, how many kids do you know through the internet? Bit worrying that one, and not liking the Clash. He seemed such a nice boy :)

I'll always be grateful to The Clash. They where open to all types of music. I would never have listened to reggae without them. Shame on anyone who denies them. Having said that, each to his own - I never liked The Jam and still don't.
