i was just listening to "This is England"

and people can talk shit about that album as much as they want to, strummer was still able to kick out some good fucking tunes.

This is England - AWESOME.

Joe Strummer is my hero

Global Agogo and Streetcore are also two of my favorites, besides all the stuff written by the Clash

in all honesty, the only of his stuff i know is the Clash. i own all their records, but nothing from after they disbanded.

any suggestions as to what i should look into? Joe's stuff, as well as Mick's.

definately go joe strummer before mick, just my opinion, but joe's solo material is by far way better than all the stuff mick did. the good the bad and the queen has the clash bass player in it, they have some not bad stuff.

this isn't directly related with this quote, because i'm in complete agree: i love joe's solo stuff. but mick always gets the short end of the stick IMO. without mick, joe strummer would have been a nobody.
