The Clash

They called themselves “the only band that matters”, and though that may be a slight overstatement, they had a point : The Clash were at the front of most musical revolutions of their time. They started off as the ultimate British Punk band in 1976, moved on to integrate reggae, rockabilly and ultimately dance music or hip hop. Joe Strummer and Mick Jones make for a fantastic pair of guitar artists, making their craft up as they went along.
