Joe Strummer passed away 5 years ago and it only seems like yesterday...

Anyone really into The Clash should pick up this book, it's brilliant it's by Pennie Smith who was hired to document the US tour.



Ended up taking this photo amoungst others that created perhaps the most iconic album cover of all time. yes

Can't argue with Collateral and the Tommy Gun intro comment. Also have to agree with TCEvo as London Calling will always be a classic with another excellent intro and that inspired morse code finish! I also think that the video to London Calling had the most atmosphere of any music video I ever saw.

It is true. The Clash.....The only Band that mattered!!
