I don't get the Clash, either as a 'political' band or as anything other than a bunch of guys in sleeveless shirts who were all about posturing and bad covers.
How many other rock songs quote directly from Samuel Taylor Coleridge?
Well, there's that one by Frankie Goes To Hollywood (OMG TEH GAY!). Ooops.
I don't get people who argue about whether the Beatles were better than the Stones, as they sound fairly similar to me
The Stones are the ones with the off-key singer and the sloppy guitar playing.
I think the Fun Conservative reasoning must be something like: rock was once rebellious and scared uptight parents, and conservatives hated it, but now it's accepted and normal, which means it's okay for me to like it for its non-conformist image.
