The Clash put out a record in 1977 called "The Clash" which shows a pretty wide array of influences, (albeit mainly reggae and dub, not weird time signatures and horrific 20 minute guitar solos) perhaps should give that album a try, I've heard rumors that there's going to be a remastered editions released soon. Anyway, this band, "The Clash" went on to put out a lot of other really great records and continued to bring other genres underneath the "punk" umbrella, like Johnny Rotten did with PIL, for instance. It moved away from three chords pretty quickly, you know. I'm not even going to talk about the rest of it (DIY, etc etc) because if you don't know, it doesn't matter. Am I the only sad individual on this list? Give me "London Calling" over "Tago Mago" any day. .Bil. np: bad brains: rock for light ["conservative" hardcore from DC]
