I don’t get it?
It's a pop album giving hommage to all genres of music.
>>131505452It’s overrated but has some good songs. You don’t like Train in Vain?
Fuck you I love this album I don't care what punkfags say
>>131505452It's one of the most accessible and enjoyable albums oat. Even my mom likes it. What's there to get?
>>131505452The entitled can feel empathy for and relate to those worse off. It trolls the fuck out of everybody because of that. The working class, the poor, conservatives, religious idiots, bigots, you. It's the album that ended punk simply by being better punk. It's masterclass in philosophy.
>>131505452I hate this backward-looking pile of shit so much. It makes me so angry thinking of what an opportunity they wasted. 1979/1980 was a pivotal period in rock/pop/punk music. The original punk wave had died, new synthesizer technologies were starting to become commercially available after the success of bands like Kraftwerk, and rock bands had a unique opportunity to take the corpse of the genre into brand new territories. The Clash’s contemporaries like PiL started making obtuse music that was unrecognizable as rock or punk and, though it confused the hell out of fans at the time, is still relevant and influential today.The Clash, on the other hand, took the safest route possible and went back to their ska, rocksteady, and old-time rock n roll “roots”. The result is a critically acclaimed turd full of 4 chord verse-chorus-verse ditties and major key melodies that challenges and offends nobody and could just as easily have been made in 1969 as 1979. They weren’t a bad band, so to speak. They could have done literally ANYTHING at this point in rock history and still had an audience. The tragedy is that they made the conscious decision to go “back to basics” which is the the ultimate cop-out for a rock band. Joe Strummer can suck my dick.

>>131505452you had to of been in that timeframe.. its a good album always brings back good memories
>>131505452who the fuck listens to this
>>131509323Mick Jones was the real genius behind The Clash and his genius was felt behind every song The Libertines had back when they got huge, Strummer was just a squatter that got lucky to be in the right place at the right time...
>>131509126>It's the album that ended punk simply by being better punkNo Anon, you just like their style of poppunk the best. For me even BowWowWow was better, Clash were boring sounding cunts with bland songs, but hey, if thats what you like...
Guys I think they might have plagiarized the album cover

>>131510980>implying a famous band from guitar hero plagiarized some literal who from the 1930s
>>131513085People don't think about it, but without reggae there would be no punk.
Just listened to Lost In The Supermarket for the first time, sounds like an 80s song
>>131509323Imagine taking pop music this seriously.
