Description:

The album "Combat Rock" was a testament to the Clash's constant evolution, which was in no small part influenced by the Vietnam War, which had just ended a few years earlier. A good example is "Sean Flynn," which was inspired by the disappearance in a war zone of a photojournalist who was also the son of a movie star. The band's musical interests were also multifaceted, with "Ghetto Accused" featuring the revelatory narrative of poet Allen Ginsberg and "Over Powered by Funk" featuring raps by graffiti artist Futura. The Clash's influence on the world of punk, post-punk, and indie rock has been discussed in various forums. In particular, "Combat Rock" has also spawned a movement of rediscovery from a new generation, most notably when "Stay or Go" was used in a key scene in the first season of Netflix's hit Stranger Things: The Unknown World.In addition, "Strait to Hell" was sampled on rapper M.I.A.'s "Paper Plains" and became known to an even wider audience.
