Clash, The
English rock band (1976–85), a driving force in the British punk movement. Reggae and rockabilly were important elements in their sound. Their albums include The Clash (1977), London Calling (1979), and Combat Rock (1982).
The Clash's left-wing political commitment was reflected in their lyrics; the main songwriters were founder members Joe Strummer (John Mellors, 1952–2002) and Mick Jones (1955– ). Other members included Paul Simonon (1955– ), Terry Chimes (1955– ), and Nick ‘Topper’ Headon (1955– ).
