"This is one of the band's best works, and defines that no matter what slice of meat they choose out, and how they cook it, it will always somehow come out being very damn delicious."
The Clash are generally credited with pioneering the advocacy of radical politics in punk rock, and have been referred to as "The Only Band That Matters."
