I've heard entire Clash albums - heard entire Sex Pistols albums - heard entire pop punk albums from Green Day and Blink 182. I don't especially like any of it - Green Day's new stuff is all right.
Sid Vicious was quoted as saying he liked punk because you don't need to know how to play an instrument to be in a punk band.
They were all about stripping it down & just being noisy, not talented. Some people like that style, to me it ain't shit. The Clash had some decent radio songs but to compare them in any way to Led Zeppelin, who were musical geniuses, is pure insanity. Every single member of Zeppelin was amazing - they covered every style of music and did it all well. They revolutionized rock music and redefined the genre forever.
The Clash had a couple of "ok" songs - they shrink to a inconspicuous speck under the towering shadow of Led Zeppelin.
