all you need
. if you want a great compilation of clash music, this is the cd you need.


You need a little jump of electrical shockers.
It features 100 minutes of some of the Clash's best songs. This is The Story of the Clash, Volume 1 (there is no Volume 2). Of course, this isn't all the good material they recorded, but everything here is great, so that makes it 5 stars in my book.


Probably one of the Best Best Of Compilations that there ever was!


If you want chronology, just arrange your track selection/shuffle function on your cd player and stop complaining already. If you are looking for the best retrospective of The Clash out there, this is it!

Not only are all the tracks remastered but they are arranged in a very cohesive track order to make the whole double cd album sound very smooth as it goes along and not disjointed like many other compilations that just go with chronology. Obviously a lot of thought has gone into this track selection and I, for one, think it's a good one.

Get this and "London Calling" and you basically have all the best these guys have done. A very important band in the history of rock music so can you afford not to have this in your collection? .


The Clash is the best band ever
The Clash is the defining band of the 80s and this disc proves it. Great CD, great tracks, some missing, but good overall. If you like the Clash, I suggest checking out the Dead Milkmen, Butthole Surfers, and Dead Kennedys, ROCK ON!.


Kingstonstaples has no idea what he's taliking about.
The Clash is one of the definative bands of the scene, in the late 70's and 80's. The above person obviously has no clue about Punk music or the spirit of Punk. The Sex Pistols were the biggest sell outs, and did not start the movement. . . they sold it to the world and were manufactured just like the Backstreet Boys to sell clothes for Vivienne Westwood and make money for Malcolm MacClaren. All of the band from that era were influenced by eachother and developed there own styles that evolved over the years. Punk has no formula, It had it's roots and influences way before The Pistols. The Stooges, MC5, New York Dolls. . . were some of punks biggest influences. The Clashes contempararies. . Blondie, The Jam, The Buzzcocks, Joy Division among others all had distinct sounds and pulled in many influences like reggae, and synths as they evolved. I find bands that stick with the same three chord "formula" are dull and unimaginative. And without the Clash were would a band like Bad Religion be?? The Clash actually sang about politics and issues that mattered. Talk about selling out. . . have you been to a Van's Warped Tour lately. Rancid are a fine band. . . and am sure they would site The Clash as a big influence. Buy this album, If you would like a well rounded overview of the band. By the Albums they are better.
