AJ BenzaHOST
I fought the law and the law won.
AJ BenzaHOST
I don't care if you heard it from The Clash or Green Day.
AJ BenzaHOST
That's Bobby Fuller's song.
AJ BenzaHOST
And his version back in late 1965 or early 66, I forget.
John PillingGUEST
I absolutely hated it at school then.
John PillingGUEST
But something that did happen then was I happened to hear London Calling by The Clash, which they released then.
John PillingGUEST
And I think at the time it was just the name London Calling that appealed.
John PillingGUEST
I mean, I don't know, I was nine or ten years old.
John PillingGUEST
And then coming down south, was kind of a real eye-opener.
John PillingGUEST
And that record sort of formed the soundtrack to that.
John PillingGUEST
And it was also weird because nobody around me at school was listening to The Clash either.
John PillingGUEST
They were, in fact, I can't even remember what other folks were listening to.
DougGUEST
I think another reason 1980 gets kind of a bad rap is that some of the major people in the new wave punk put out some albums that weren't so great.
DougGUEST
We've got the Blondie album, the Clash album, Joe Jackson band.
DougGUEST
Those were disappointments.
DougGUEST
Those were the big names.

JB ClarkHOST
If we don't, like, go pull something from The Clash, which I don't think they're pop-punk.
JB ClarkHOST
Or,
Rob CarmackHOST
like, The Kinks, even.
Steve TaylorGUEST
the singability becomes really big.
Steve TaylorGUEST
So yeah, it's a lot of us just, it took a long time and a lot of it was, you know, the influences that I had were really great lyricists, not just, uh, Elvis Costello or Randy Newman or The Clash, but Cole Porter and Ira Gershwin and people who really knew how to craft lyrics.
Dan HolmesHOST
All right.
Dan HolmesHOST
You can tell that shows up in there.
Justin RenwickGUEST
And it's really caught on And that's where people like Nick Lowe came from, Ian Dury and the Blockheads.

Joe Strummer was in a band called the 101ers before he was with The Clash.

Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
Uh, the B-52s were banned for, for, for promoting violence.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
The Clash, for the same reason.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
They, they, they, they claimed that Kiss was neo-fascist.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
I think it's because of the two S's at the end of their name.
