The Clash is fucking awful.
"New Day Rising" gets hella play...still. As does the rest of their discography. Oh, and Sugar ain't half bad either.
Either-Or: H ¼sker D ¼ or the Clash

13I'll give this the "new kid at work" situation...
Some new kid starts to work in the kitchen. they put on:
CLASH "London Calling"
-Oh yeah, that album. This kid's alright, I suppose.
HUSKER DU "Zen Arcade"
-Fuck yeah, my friend! This kid's a keeper.

But I digress. Please continue with the squirrel circuit semantic debate.

14The Clash is Booooring.
Hüsker helped me survive high school. And they had a very good, "punch you in the face" wall of sound going on when I saw them live in 1987 at the end of their career. When I heard this sound, it was very unique. I hadn't heard other bands playing full major chords with that much thick distortion before. I know they weren't the first, but Mould was an amazing guitarist and animated frontperson who had his shit together. Very intense too.
The Clash is one of the least interesting bands to come out of the UK in the late 1970's IMO.
Hüsker Dü wins.

15I have a fondness for certain Clash tunes, but Husker Du had the devastating "Eight Miles High" single, Zen Arcade, and the first n tunes off New Day Rising, so it goes to the Huskers.

17you guys all picked husker du. What the fuck is wrong with you? Have you heard their late albums?
Sure the clash have one major turd, but "the huskers" have at the very least, two and a half total shit albums.
This is beyond me. The clash are better in every single way, most importantly, they have very few songs full of boring and trite garbage music and lyrics, and I suppose I admire the fact that they were somewhat responsible for turning many english crackers on to reggae and dub, which I would say leads to one of the best genre/period/handful of bands ever.

18Easy,
Husker Du.
Thanks Clash for a whole career that, really, only measured up to one album's worth of good material.
