i've been listening to "Stay Free" on @Spotify and it's reminded me just how important The Clash is. not just to me, but to rock music in general. they redefined what punk music could be, flawlessly mixing pop sensibilities and political activism.pic.twitter.com/7uoqRn2Jmg

from the very start, they had a mission, not only to be the biggest band in the world but to ensure that their message was heard. they didn't write love songs (well, not at first) they wrote about what they saw in the streets of London. Riots, racism, the abuse of power...pic.twitter.com/dVWlrvBbWB

and they did so with a singular flair, taking the DIY mantra of early punk rock and making it their own. they designed their own clothes, sets, and art. they toured with bands they chose to support. they let fans too poor to pay for tickets into their shows for free.pic.twitter.com/daCnM4TMwL

most importantly, they made the music they wanted to make. they were formed in the time, place, and movement of punk, but their records are full of rhythm and blues, hip-hop, surf, and rock anthems. truly pioneers, and i don't feel like they get the credit they deserve.pic.twitter.com/BoeGuwam8F

the original pressing of London Calling's US release had a sticker that read: THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS! and to some extent, it's true. tl;dr i love The Clash. if you don't know or love them like i do, give them a listen, read about their history. i promise you'll dig it.pic.twitter.com/XeKF3sYI9R
