The Clash

One of the most influential bands in history, The Clash were a British punk garage band from the 70s and 80s. In 10 years, the band released 6 studio albums, and 2 live ones. Known for their critical lyrics, The Clash featured many styles on their albums, including reggae and (of course) raw punk rock.
In 2003 Rolling Stone Magazine declared The Clash's London Calling to be the 8th most influential album ever. Anybody arguing this fact would be wasting their breath; swooping from the tough baseline in it's title track to the more mellow Lost in the Supermarket, The Clash seem to cover everything they felt, without creating a scattered, chaotic album. In truth, if you were to remove any one of the 19 songs on this 1979 album, you would lose a whole piece of the story.
Going back to 1977, The Clash released their first album, The Clash. It's full of anger, but it goes further with it. Unlike most bands during this time, The Clash didn't just get angry and leave it at that, they got angry for something they cared about. Deeply concerned with the state of the world, Joe Strummer and Mick Jones both made a point to blatantly state their views in every verse of every song of every album ever produced by The Clash.
Staying true to their roots, The Clash never abandoned their working class history for the glory of stardom. They owed it to their dedicated fans to stay true.
Still today, The Clash are a source of inspiration for many as their legacy lives on. Widely considered not only one the greatest punk bands in history, but also as one of the best bands period. They said what they meant and meant what they said in a time of uncertain change.

The Breakfast Club

30 years ago today, the Breakfast Club kids met for their infamous detention. This movie, summing up the ageless teenage angst, featured a fitting soundtrack. Its featured song, Don't You (Forget About Me) by Simple Minds, has come to symbolize the popular film. So cheers to The Breakfast Club.
