Blondie 		THE CLASH<br>The Clash was one of the most successful British punk rock groups that existed from 1976 to 1986.

They were also legendary for uncommonly intense stage performances.<br>From their earliest days as a band, The Clash stood apart from their peers with their musicianship, as well as their lyrics; the passionate, righteous political idealism in the lyrics by frontmen Joe Strummer and Mick Jones contrasted with the nihilism of the Sex Pistols and the simplicity of The Ramones.<br>The Clash's attitude and style, as much as their music, has influenced countless bands in all genres of music. In 2003 they were inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.<br>Members Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, Topper Headon <br>
