i cant see how its punk compared to like the sex pistols more alternative rock. but what does this song actually mean hes not the clearest of vocalists and nirvana were a bit overrated but still a great band

Yes that's right, punk is dead,It's just another cheap product for the consumers head.Bubblegum rock on plastic transistors,Schoolboy sedition backed by big time promoters.CBS promote the Clash,But it ain't for revolution, it's just for cash.Punk became a fashion just like hippy used to beAnd it ain't got a thing to do with you or me

"Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust". Now, I am a Beatles fan, but that is my absolute favorite lyric of the song I love it(and the sentiment behind it) is dead on.I love this song. I have it on repeate all the time because its so FTW and passionate, true and just epic.

All those bands changed rock music differently and they are all great bands so why are you fighting

Umm ... first of all, you cannot categorically say The Clash were less important. First of all, they had something the Beatles never did. True spirit and passion. That's why they are so widely hailed as rock revolutionaries and inspiredcountless modern-day bands.

i think its amazing that the clash are considered a punk band, and of course they are but how much other types of music they played aswell, regardless of whatever anybody else thought....true legends
