I'm 22 and just got into The Clash - anyone recommend any similar bands or something that might be up my alley?

Blink 182
Sum41

No, I joke of course.

Not necessarily similar to the Clash, more pop punk, but I've always loved the Undertones.

I'm going to see a Clash tribute band, London Calling, in October.

I saw The Clash at the Ipswich Gaumont in 1980, they nailed it that night, still one of the best gigs I've seen.

90s US punk band that were similarly political, got bundled in with skate punk but were miles better than that.

Try New York Dolls and then Hanoi Rocks, different to the Clash but interested to see how you get on

It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.

Great!

But a tricky one. The Clash were pretty eclectic and also the quality varies. But that's what makes them so fantastic.

What are your favourite songs? Those should lead somewhere else.

Check out what Joe strummer did after The Clash - Joe Strummer and the Mescalero. Their last album Streetcore is probably their best, finished just after he died and loads of early Clash feel to it.

Lots of bands heavily influenced by The Clash check out Hard-Fi in particular the album Stars of CCTV a bit poppy but you can hear The Clash influence all the way through.

The Stranglers at the Gaumont 79 or 80 (can’t quite remember) was special as well.

That would be a good shout if the Clash were sh1t, tone deaf and couldn't play their instruments in tune.

Different type of genre, but may be new to a 22 year old;

Aerosmith, The Strokes.

I got into the clash in the late 90's (so a fair while after their heyday) and can't think of any other similar bands that I was into.

Another 90s punk act that I was well into, and def influenced by the CLash's eclectic approach.

You need to listen to the lyrics!

....never rated The Clash but to answer the thread would require a favourite album.
London Calling was the only album I took back to the shop.

There is nobody quite like the Clash. A lot of the music from the punk era doesn't really stand the test of time, but worth checking out the following from then are:

The Ruts, ATV, early Stiff Little Fingers .

Each have that political/social commentary aspect that was so much part of The Clash. Lots of great singles from that era too. Have a listen to 'Action Time Vision: A Story of UK Independent Punk 1976-79'. Great box set that you can probably stream.

Specifically Clash related: as someone mentioned, Joe Strummer's albums with the Mescaleros are also great. Mick Jones's Carbon/Silicon also worth a listen.

Having said that, the great John Peel drew a comparison between football and music by saying that whilst history and heritage should be celebrated, it's what happening now that really matters. There is lots of brilliant music out there now. Go track it down. I was at Wembley in 1978 and Amsterdam in 1981, but it's Burton Albion in August that matters most now.

You took London Calling back to the shop??

You sir are a heathen - simply one of the best albums ever.

London Calling, Train in Vain, Police On My Back, Know Your Rights, The Magnificent Seven and Rock The Casbah for sure..

Both are very good. My favourite band is The Hives, which is a bit of a combo between punk, rock and garage punk/rock
