The Clash were a manafactured band- a boy band if you will. The Stranglers were organic and musically a cut above the rest who danced to their own tune and not their managers. That said i love much of the Clash's output-London Calling is one of my all time favourite albums.Ps. JJ said he always liked Joe and recently met Paul in London where they chatted for the 1st time in 30 odd years about their respective Triumph bikes. just came across this.I knew that Joe admired the Stranglers from the 101′r days but that’s where the link ends.

Joe Strummer was influenced by the Stranglers for having a fantastic cool band with a great name. This inspired Joe to start the Clash, you see it was'nt the songs but the stance. JJ had short hair and Jet had bleach blond hair before it was fashionable. I think JJ has been misunderstood here.

Thar rumour that lovers of the Stranglers are delusional pricks continues to gather steam. You're doing a lot for Glasgow tourism too....well done you.

The Stranglers were, quite simply, musically way, way ahead of the rest. 20 years ahead of their time. Also, you're all a bunch of cunts. Come to Glasgow & I'll break you all in two, you fucking shower of Clash twats \The Clash are/were utter piss; almost as bad a the pistols, so untalented.

The stranglers were a band that were prepared to goto war for each other. Im not sure theres that much link between stranglers and the clash at all. Both great bands in their own right. I think strummer loved the band when he was in the 101ers because technically the stranglers were streets ahead of the guys he was playing with. But then the stranglers were technically way ahead of most of the punk bands. Yep they jumped on the punk bandwagon and as a life long stranglers fan I don't care. The stranglers were the nasty agressive actions speak louder than words face of punk. While the pistols swore and acted punk the stranglers were punk. The pistols were a scruffy boy band of 'in my opinion' no artistic or musical merit whatsoever. The clash, the stranglers, siouxie , damned for me opitimised the various flavours of punk. The clash were more overtly political than the other 3 and strummers was undoubtedly a great lyricist. So to cut a long story short I don't give a monkeys whether the clash were or were not influenced by the stranglers because both bands are legends The clash more of a band- now thats talking bollocks.
