The Clash
From Conservapedia
The Clash were one of the early punk rock bands in the United Kingdom. Formed in 1976, they remained together until 1986. The Clash were extremely popular and, as with many United Kingdom bands of the time, were very anti-establishment and aligned with left-wing politics, although they were not as anarchist as other popular groups such as The Sex Pistols.
Their most popular songs include "London Calling", "Train in Vain", "Rock the Casbah" and "Should I Stay or Should I Go". The Clash sound influenced many other bands that came out of the 1970s-1980s punk movement. Their third album, London Calling, is considered a classic, and Rolling Stone magazine listed it as the eighth-greatest record of all time.[1]
On 22 December 2002, Clash frontman Joe Strummer died suddenly of heart failure. His life with The Clash is documented in the 2007 film Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten.
