The Clash were famously once deemed “the only band that matters” and through about 3/4 of their discography it’s pretty easy to make that case. But what about the remaining 1/3? We go album by album to re-evaluate the great, the slightly less than great and the triple album filler to determine if the only band that matters still matters some 40 years after their debut.
