Critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote in the All Music Guide: “ Where The Pistols were nihilistic, The Clash were fiery and idealistic, charged with righteousness and a leftist political ideology. In London during the late 1970s and early 1980s, The Clash, in many ways, would eventually surpass The Sex Pistols as the U.K.’s most popular punk rock band. The many different ways that music lovers are discovering The Clash is interesting, but if you really want interesting, and you enjoy the five Clash songs in this mix, we strongly recommend these Clash LPs: their self-titled debut (1977) Give ‘Em Enough Rope (1978) London Calling (1979). playing his Dad’s old Clash vinyl records or a Mom with two kids in Des Moines, Iowa discovering the band for the first time listening to classic rock radio station, The Clash are definitely in the Top 100 Best Bands Ever, and for good reason. Every day, new Clash fans from around the world are discovering the band’s music for the first time whether it’s a 14 year old boy in Birmingham, U.K. With unforgettable hit songs like “Should I Stay or Should I Go” and “Rock The Casbah,” The Clash swayed in between underground music and the mainstream (especially in the U.K.), while staying true to their roots. “Train In Vain” – The Clash from London Calling (1979) The Clash remain as one of the most influential and popular rock bands in British music history, and they were, for all intents and purposes, the first high-profile to combine ska, punk, rock pop and reggae into their songs, giving the band a unique identity in the annals of pop music.
In addition to a general overview of the featured band’s members, first big breaks, best songs and albums, influence on music, etc., we also include five to seven songs from their discography in the weekly S-25 mix.
Īt the core of the S-25 mix is the band profile, in which we feature a band we love (and hope our readers do/will as well). In case you are new to The Sunday 25 Songs (S-25) mix, each week we put together 25 songs we love from any genre and any time period a chance for us to take a break once a week from bringing you the best new indie rock songs, bands, albums and live events.
It’s Sunday, and that means it’s time for the Sunday 25 playlist.
