The Clash: The Singles [Legacy - $79.98]
They were the only band that mattered in an era that couldn’t have cared less for their perplexing punk rock politics. By the time they became a Top Ten contender in America (with their funky 1982 hit “Rock the Casbah”) however, The Clash were already imploding. Over ten years and five seminal recordings (the Topper Headon/Mick Jones-less Cut the Crap doesn’t count), these British bad boys redefined an entire movement, taking the anarchic noise of 1976 and turning it into the greatest rock and roll revival ever. Though they were passed over for The Jam in their native England, Joe Strummer, Paul Simonon and the others did more than merely bash out three simple chords. As this collection of every single track (including b-sides) they ever released indicates, The Clash truly were a brave, beautiful noise. [Amazon
