Summary: Much more than Punk
Comment: For me The Clash was Combat Rock, the album they released in early 80's (81?) that bring me back to my youth. A couples of years ago I read in every list of the best rock bands ever that The Clash were among the top 20 and London Calling was one of the best 10 albums ever. So I began to look for more music from the group. Discovering this collection and the early recordings of the group. I have to say That I'm impressed. From the early really punk recordings like White Riot, through their evolution to post punk and pop singles like Rock The Casbah, or Should I stay or Should I go, The Clash demonstrate that They were not just THE punk group but wise composers and instrumentalists not mentioning the message of rebellion and anger about the matters of those days. The Clash ws indeed one of the best groups ever and their music stand the test of time. In this collection you'll find their most important recordings and what They were really about.

Summary: GREAT CD!!!
Comment: I'm a die-hard Clash fan. This is a great collection of "The Only Band that Matters"! It has almost all of their classic material, then also documents their later years. It's worth reliving the glorious music of their prime, as well as some of their music from their later, admittedly lesser, years, isn't it?!? Long Live The Clash! Buy this CD; it's great!

Summary: The Best Clash Compilation, to date.
Comment: If you're looking for a complete, full anthology of The Clash, this is the one to get. It's got all the hits, plus some minor hits, it's simply the best collection of them that you will find, so far. The sound is excellent, too. If you love good 70s-80's punk and pop you'll love this! :)

Summary: A great collection... all you really need for The Clash
Comment: This is a great collection. All the 'hits' and important songs are here. Some of the second half of disc two is a little slow, especially the stuff from Cut the Crap, but great all the same. And for those who say this isn't punk, they may think that because it doesn't sound like 'punk' should (what should punk sound like?), because this is the most original punk. The Clash was a punk band whose sound evolved as their talents evolved.

Summary: The clash is a pop band, not a punk band !!!
Comment: It's clear than many of thoses song have been written for radio... The Clash are to Punk what Poison are to Metal !!! You woN,t find real punk music here, only early 80 pop songs... If you are looking for punk, try The Sex Pistols, The Ramones or The Stooges, but not the Clash...

The Essential Clash demonstrates once again how superior the Clash were to any of their punk peers. It's striking that, while the effects of the movement continue to resonate decades later, most '70s punk has dated badly. Even the great singles of the Sex Pistols, perhaps because they encapsulated the time so perfectly, do little more than remind one of 1977. But this fine 40-track double-disc collection demonstrates that the Clash's sound maintains its vitality, whether in the apocalyptic foreboding of "London Calling" or the sulking "I'm So Bored with the USA." When frontman Joe Strummer died in December 2002 at age 50, much was made of the political conscience he'd brandished throughout his career; it must be noted that appearing to be a great thinker in comparison to other rock singers is no great accomplishment. Appearing a great rock singer in comparison to other vocalists is a much more impressive achievement, and this retrospective provides irrefutable evidence of the genius of Strummer and the band he led. --Andrew Mueller
