Give it another try. There are some really good songs on Cut the Crap. I have to admit that when it first came out I dismissed it as being a casualty of the industry, but it really grew on me. "This is England" in particular is a great song.
I know a guy who saw the Clash play at Hammersmith Palais. Damn. Not only is the Clash my favorite band, but 'White Man In Hammersmith Palais' is my favorite song.
You can't beat Joe for lyrics (IMHO). 'Death or Glory' speaks to some of the above comments as well. *editted, sorry brain froze up*
Inlander:
Don't mind me, just pokin' my head back in for a look around.
Hooligan, do you have From Here to Eternity? 'Cause the version of "White Man in Hammersmith Palais" on that is fucking awesome.
blindsuperhero:
That whole record is fantastic
Mnementh:
I would encourage fans of The Clash to check out Rachid Taha's cover of Rock the Casbah.
This thread is a mess, and I'm locking it until I figure out what I want to do with it. I'll explain my reasoning in about and hour and a half, when I get home. I'm at work, so no time now.
Mnementh:
Alright. So lets talk about this thread.
Those of you who read the initial post, like Inlander, can tell that this thread was never intended to be a piss match about the merits of Clash. This thread was obviously for fans of The Clash & Joe Strummer.
Obviously that didn't happen. So the first issue is that things got off topic. This is happening a lot.

Let's address how you argued. I happen to agree with this statement by Hooligan. I know it was aimed at Khar, but it can be applied to quite a few of you. Don't be elitist assholes.
I don't want to generalize or pick out specific individuals, but I've received complaints, and honestly I can see it myself. There are a group of folks here, who happen to be metalheads, who seem intent on making every thread about metal, and dismissing everything else. I implore everyone to take a look at what they post, and to realize that we have very diverse tastes here. If something doesn't interest you (this thread is a perfect example), rather than posting something dismissive, just stay out of the thread.
Finally. Jumping all over Inlander for reminding everyone to get back on topic was inappropriate. As far as I am concerned he was in the right. I don't have any problems with people politely asking folks to get back on topic. I've posted before on what is acceptable and not acceptable in this regard and I'd like whomever it was that jumped all over Inlander to apologize to him via PM.
Thanks. Now I'll let you get back to your discussion of Joe Strummer. I split out a lot of OT arguing, there was actually a fair amount of intelligent discussion in some of those posts, but the amount of crap that accompanied it made it easier just to cut out all the OT stuff. Any replies to this post should be conducted via PM.
