I loved that movie
Unfortunately I was too young to experience The Clash when they were at their prime. But I was blown away when I first heard London Calling. They are still one of the few rock bands to have succesfully blended different genres, from dub to dance. Their rythm section plays like a dance beat, before dance beats were a thing. No wonder they were being played in NYC dance clubs!
lots of cool tidbits on the 2/7 archive show at wwoz. im a big fan too. Thereâs a lot of punk rock I do like, but these cats seem head and shoulders above the rest for the reasons you mention.
