but there's got to be MORE clash fans here...
let's see, i started listening to the clash probably about two years ago, because i'd read about them. they kept popping up in articles and interviews with my other favourite bands at the time...i was in a used record shop waiting for these old people to move away from the local rock section so i could look for a cd from my favourite local band, and i was standing in the rock section near bands that start withthe letter C, and decided that i needed to hear the clash since i'd heard of them so many times...it's one of those stores where you can listen before you buy the cd, and i never got around to checking the local rock section cos i didn't have enough money for two cds, and i had to get the clash album--u.k version of the self-titled
my 12th grade math teacher was a huge clash fan, and he lent me a tape of big audio dynamite's first album...and my grandma got me a copy of "global a go-go" for christmas that year
i've got give em enough rope, sandinista, combat rock, and the u.s. version of the self titled album on vinyl...which kind of sucks because at school when i don't have my record player, i don't get to hear a lot of really great clash stuff
