no, who wrote the music for their biggest hit, golden brown? not my favourite by any means. and what was the name of the girl that fronted the group in a different guise?
The Stranglers were/are cack and have never even came anywhere near the musical excellence of The Clash . Posh boy punk mheh
The Clash were punk wannabes. Joe Strummer was in the n101ers, a pub rock ****ty band. Jumped on the so called punk bandwagon.
Think you missed the whole point of the Clash if you think they were wannabee anything . They were a garage band and they came from garageland
They (and the sex pistols) used to go and see the stranglers in 75, when the se pistols had yet to be manufactured by a failed art student (the very antithesi of punk itself) and Strummer was in a pub rock band called the 101er's. none of the three bands wer punk at all. if you want to know about punk speak to stopmeandslapme and the genuine punk hardcore bands that grew up influenced by American punk in 1976.
This explains a lot, your UFO mystery solved http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=cl...8OOfb7AaVk4HIDw&ved=0CDUQsAQ&biw=1024&bih=694
I didn't say The Clash were a Punk band . The Clash were too good to fit that label. And i really don't need to ask anybody about Punk bands in the 70s . I was there .
Aside from the fact that joe Strummer said he wanted to be bigger than the sex pistols youy may be right - they never wanted to be anything
