When considered in a broader social context, The Clash stand as one
of the most important musical acts in rock history. Original punks
who transcended the music's minimalist origins, The Clash lived and
breathed the idea that they could change the world with their art.
In The Clash: The Only Band That Mattered, respected music critic
Sean Egan examines The Clash's career and art through the prism of
the uniquely interesting and fractious UK politics of the 1970s and
'80s, without which they simply would not have existed. Tackling
such subjects as The Clash's self-conscious tussles with their
record label, the accusations of selling out that dogged their
footsteps, their rivalry with the similarly leaning but less purist
Jam, the paradoxical quality of their achieving multiplatinum
success, and even whether their denunciations of Thatcherism were
proven wrong, Egan has come up with new insights into a much
discussed group. Clash fans, Clash haters, social historians, and
political students will all find themselves entertained by his
thought-provoking conclusions.
