I Fought the Law" was written by Sonny Curtis of the Crickets (as in Buddy Holly & the Crickets) and was a top-ten hit for the band “Bobby Fuller Four” in 1966. The Clash released it as a Single from their EP The Cost of Living in May 1979.

[unkindestcut]

Punk was not a specific “sound, ” it was a DIY philosophy that said you didn’t have to be a technical master of your instrument, an unreachable Rock God, you just needed to have something to say and the courage to get up on stage in front of your peers to say it. The Clash proudly labeled themselves a “garage band, ” and they wore their influences on their sleeves.

[bobschenkel]

Originally done by The Bobby Fuller Four back in the early 60's, and covered by many, many bands. Probably the only time The Clash and the Grateful Dead both covered the same song.

[mattshaw]

The Clash had a lot of big & famous songs, but to really get their punk/reggae/rock vibe, hit "White Man in Hammersmith Palais" from their early stuff.

The clash was one of the early punk bands the championed early Hip Hop

And in fact had Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five open the first ever New York City show

The Clash used many different genres of music in their songs

And has a great Hip Hop song called the Magnificent 7 on their triple album Sandinista as well a Dub reggae ( the songs Crooked Beat and One more time in the ghetto) and Soca music( Soul Calypso) in the song let’s go crazy which is about the Caribbean festival held in the Brixton section of London annually

Check out the clash’s early Hip Hop you won’t regret it!!!

The kings of punk . One of the Best english band of the 70' and 80's. Drummer iconic Topper Headon. They are the Best my 2 little friends !!!

[eximusic]

This was the original, first wave, punk. And The Clash were the best band out of that era. Great guitar work and they weren't opposed to layered, single note guitar lines (just short of lead solos). This song was early Clash at the beginning of the 1977 punk wave. Check out Guns on the Roof from their next album - my favorite Clash song.

The Reggae comment is spot on! The London scene was full of Reggae Artists who immigrated and lots of that colour can be found in Punk from that era!

[THEDEEPDIVE]

There are many flavors of punk. Cheers to Brad for making the connection between the clash/punk and reggae.. that is definitely where that band headed after this.

[johnmorris]

Yes, indeed! If the couch gang is genre fluid, then the Clash is a great band to explore! Punk, rockabilly, reggae, proto-ska, pop, new wave. You name it!

[rockerchefdave]

There are many different types of punk rock. The Clash transcended them all !

[S.J.L]

"Armageddon Time", "Straight to Hell" by the Clash & "Mondo Bongo", "Bhindi Bhagi" and "Get Down Moses" by Joe Strummer, solo are great examples of how eclectic he was. "White Riot", "Cheat", "Know Your Rights", "Tommy Gun", "Johnny Comes Marching Home", "Safe European Home", "Coma Girl", "Janie Jones" and "Brand New Cadillac", "Clash City Rockers", to hear the "punk" side.

The Clash were a big influence on four total misfits in Newtown Wales - so The Clash, with a little help from God, ushered the Manic Street Preachers into the world & saved me from shrugging off my mortal coil in my mid-twenties.

The Clash - along with a lot of young punk bands in London in the second half of the seventies - shared rehearsal spaces with young Reggae bands. Some of that definitely rubbed off on them.

Keep up the good work - Love & Kisses from the UK.

Great reaction Brad & Lex - 2 more ICONIC Clash songs are "Train in Vain" and "Radio Clash"! Lex will LOVE them!!

[neilkapelka]

Loved the reaction. Brad is dead on picking up on the reggae vibe. Here’s to hoping you guys go deep in your reactions to the Clash and Big Audio Dynamite, there’s a lot of great music to unpack between the two. For your next Clash reaction, can I recommend “Straight to Hell”? You guys might recognize the instrumental from a sample.

[Jacob-erxb]

The Clash had a lot of great cover songs. One you'll like is called "Police on My Back." The original version was by a band called The Equals, led by Eddy Grant who sang "Electric Avenue."

[spencerpennington]

I like Brad’s observation here! While it’s well-known, it’s worth repeating that reggae and punk blended heavily in England; both punks and Rastas were seen as outlandish, estranged, and weird. The Clash — and other punk artists — were huge reggae fans, and the Clash was one of the first punk groups to not only enjoy and appreciate reggae, but to play it. (See, of course, “Guns of Brixton” and their covers of “Police and Thieves” and “Armagideon Time” amongst others.) By the same token, reggae artists like Bob Marley, Lee “Scratch” Perry, and Jimmy Cliff quickly became fans and supporters of the punk scene, and more than a few British reggae bands — such as Steel Pulse and Aswad — got their start opening for punk artists in cities like London and Birmingham. Out of this milieu emerged a whole host of pop-reggae, pop-punk, and ska revival groups like UB40, the Police, and the Specials. There’s a lot more that could be said, but you get the idea!

Also, Lex’s dancing here was just so cute! 😆

this songs is about trying to put up a lattice and your landlord not letting you

[keithevans]

Try Bankrobber by the Clash if you want to hear them in full on Reggae mode.The Clash grew musically as they went on, Punk if such a loaded term listen say to the Clash doing "I'm so bored with the USA" classic old school punk, but around the same time they were doing "White man in Hammersmith Palais" a reggae song, Punk in the late 70's in the UK had a lot of reggae crossover, The Ruts were another band that did this"In a Rut" classic punk, but "love in vein" is a reggae song, and they used a lot of Dub reggae techniques in their recordings.Sorry if it sounds like I'm giving a lecture, I love when people listen to the music of my youth, I just think you miss how fluid and dynamic it was, I hear music officianados talking punk, new wave, post punk, alternative rock, and think a lot of these terms are not wrong, just not as formal and literal as people make out.

[jamesdignanmusic]

Excellent band - genre-mixing, particularly punk and reggae, but a lot of other influences too. Well done for spotting the Marley vibe - lead singer Joe Strummer would later do a wonderful cover of Marley's "Redemption Song" along with country legend Johnny Cash. Try the Clash's songs "Rudy Can't Fail", "Bankrobber", "Should I Stay Or Should I Go", "Rock the Casbah", and "White Riot" to show their range of styles. As for punk, it covered a range of different styles, but can basically be split into American punk and British punk (which are completely different) and "neo-punk" - modern bands picking up on the energy and vibe. But even within that there was a huge range - it was as much an attitude as a style. The Clash were one of the top British punk groups (I'd also recommend The Buzzcocks as another British punk group to explore).
