there is a before and after "the clash"! I saw the bataclan September 29, 1977 and I never saw or heard a band played as if his last hour had arrived! the disk was out for a few months and I did not know! since I became a "fan" unconditional! in a word, as in "blood" PUNK it was them and nobody else! which before them had dared to mention the riots, unemployment, racism, in short the lives of young ...., hear the album (white riot, Janie Jones, Police and thieves, etc, etc,) and you will understand .
