Clash City Rockers

[Carl Abraham Zimring]

I think Don has a point regarding Joe Strummer's clumsy lyrics, but
there's a ton of Clash I still enjoy.  Any band that could make rock as
exhilirating as "Complete Control" and dub as engrossing as "Straight to
Hell" is alright in my book, and I like what they did to reggae a lot
more than what the Police did to reggae.

As for Brit punk bands that aged well, the Damned haven't done badly. 
The Sex Pistols' album remains a fantastic mix of Johnny Rotten's
sneering and Chris Thomas's AOR production.
