The Clash (The most overated band ever)

[Alexinblack]

I always have liked a lot of the Clash stuff, more so there early stuff. I do agree, with the previous poster as I thought bands like the Specials were very important too.

I decided the other night as I was bored to play "The London Calling Album" by the Clash.I am sorry to say apart from a few tracks I found It really boring and pretty stale.Some great playing mostly by the drummer "Topper" but thats the best I can say about It.I can't believe I am saying this but Compared to "London Calling" WIr & CDG are great.I do not get the clash thing.They did some reggae songs wow (wonder what other band did)? Thinks oh It was The stranglers.The clash always seem to have the trendy journalists licking their arses.The clash always had the fake working class crap,when they were mostly middle class trying to be born again cockney's.Just my opnion.

no,that would be U2

Like most bands except the stranglers, the Clash had 1 great album and a few great singles. The rest is shite!! The stranglers have had loads of great albums and not that much shite. Middle 90's springs to mind along with nice in nice' which I cant stand.

I reckon The Velvet Underground are probably the most overrated band. I'd say at least 70% of their stuff is pure unmelodic bland shite. That said the other 30 is pretty good.

Early stuff is good. Murmur and Reckoning are two solid albums imo

I’m showing my age now
But I had Best of the Clash on cassette
Used to play it when getting ready To go out
Under age and before all day drinking
Even now some of those tunes trigger of good memories
Along witn Stranglers Numan and lots of others!!!!

Tru'dat. The IRS stuff is the only stuff worth a listen, Reckoning still one of my faves.

You can add the Killers to the list of overrated as far as I am concerned. Linear music, workman like playing, no groove, no originality..therefore no fun!
