They always seemed like "punk" for people who didn't quite know what punk was.

I don't disagree with you, but neither do I give a rat's ass about the label of punk.  The Clash are to punk as Wilco is to alt-country.  If anything the fact that they can't be pigeon-holed is to their credit.

I agree, but if you don't get raked over the coals for saying this, it'l only serve to solidify my beief that "Mats" fans are worse than deadheads.

Yup.  They are the G. Love and Special Sauce for the current generation.

Sorry - I realize that sounded a bit dickish. I was thinking more back to my teenage years when people would claim to like punk based on their owning a Clash album. Kind of like the metal girls whose favorite band was Poison.

 

No offense was intended toward Clash fans.
