This week we’re talking about The Clash. Led by the late great Joe Strummer, this is one of the most cherished bands we’ve covered on the show. Although they began as a straightforward 70s punk band, the Clash quickly evolved into a genre-jumping pop giant. This is a sacred cow for a lot of people, so beware.
Closing track: “Spanish Bombs” from London Calling (1979)
