I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...The Clash changed my life. I was 13 at the time, and was tired of listening to the same old s*** as everyone else - i wanted something different. So i went looking through my dad's old Vinyl and Cassette colection, and came accross "The Story Of The Clash" on cassette. So i jammed it into the tape player, sat back and listened to the best music i had ever heard. Songs like "London's Burning", "White Man In Hammersmith Palais", "Police And Thieves", "Capital Radio" etc all absolute classics.

I now play in a punk band, called Sidekick, and our sound owes alot to bands like The Clash, Stiff Little Fingers, Rancid, Operation Ivy etc.

Have a listen yourself!! - www.unsigned.com/sidekick

I am glad i took the time to listen to The Clash, if i had'nt, i would'nt be who i am today.

So thanks to Joe, Mick, Paul and Topper!!
