Formed in 1976 in London, England, The Clash quickly soared into stardom as they spearheaded the original Punk movement of the mid to late 1970's. Consisting of Joe Strummer (Rhythm Guitar/ Vocals), primary lyricist), Mick Jones (Lead Guitar/ Vocals), Paul Simonon (Bass) and Terry Chimes (Drums), the group recorded their self-titled debut album, The Clash. Shortly after, Terry Chimes was replaced by Nicky Headon, who would continue to drum for them until 1982, when he was then replaced by Chimes. As a follow up to their hit original LP, the Clash released Give 'Em Enough Rope, as their second album. However, nothing would have prepared the world for their next album, the vastly commercial successful and iconic London Calling. The album quickly rose into a rare echelon of one of the most popular and influential albums in history.
In 1980, the band released Sandanista!. They followed up that album with Combat Rock in 1982. Sadly, the band, due to artistic differences and drug problems, began to disintegrate.
