Aaron Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Huge Replacements fan here. The Clash were awesome though, and arguably the "better" band. I need to listen to them more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky4 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Here in the midwest, they came and went completely unnoticed. This was Van Halen country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Here in the midwest, they came and went completely unnoticed. This was Van Halen country! Who? The 'Mats or The Clash? The Replacements are from Minneapolis, so they certainly weren't unoticed there. As usual though, it all depends on who you were/are listening to. The Replacements never got much airplay. You had to go see them or buy the records. The Clash got a little more airplay and were bigger, but not Van Halen big. You couldn't turn on the radio without hearing Van Halen, so they were everywhere, and had an entirely different appeal than bands like the 'Mats and the Clash. I'm too young to have seen the Replacements, but I sure wish I could have been at some of their shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigh Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 To me back in the day, the only band that mattered was The Who. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windmills Optional Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Great, great band. I sometimes tell people London Calling saved my life, and it's not far from the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S t e v e Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 metallica are the only band that "matter" imo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRrTQtXs7ek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockabillyHell Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 The Clash are right up there with The Ramones and Social Distortion. All great underrated bands. I grew up on Punk Rock and now the same as then, I loath Metal. Except for Motorhead cause' they are in a category all their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredAstaire Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I dunno if i would agree that the Ramones were underrated. They were a cultural icon and some of teh first pioners of American punk rock, but they were not an amazing band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had a Ramones patch on your jacket you ran the risk of fist fighting with the acid demim, can o hair spray crowd that couldnt see past Warrant and Metallica. Not Amazing? Pffft, They wrote some fantastic clever and catchy songs. Not to mention were one of the greatest live acts around. The Clash revered the Ramones and always cited them as a primary influence.

ShredAstaire Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I guess when I think amazing bands, I don't think of three chord punk...no matter though. I'm not here to argue...just supply my thoughts. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
