The Clash - London Calling Review
Whilst they were by no means the first British Punk rock band (that accolade should probably go to Messrs Rotten, Vicious and co), The Clash, in the end, came to exemplify UK punk. With many other acts of the same era, the fury and vitriol was empty, a rebellion against everything; The Clash were political, idealistic, and, perhaps, most significant of all to their fortunes, they knew how to write a great pop song.
