Sounds 29 December 1979
I HAVE nothing against Garry '5th man' Bushell, in the past I've always been able to see his point of view. That is up until now. Reading Bushell's review of The Clash album 'London Calling', I felt that this time he'd 'gone over the top'. I've heard the album and I just can't see his reasons for calling The Clash 'second rate Stones copyists' and even worse 'Al Stewart type pop rock'. Bushell then claims to be a Clash fan.
It seems that Garry '5th man' Bushell's main criticism is that The Clash have progressed in their songwriting. Progressed when everyone thought they'd be stuck in a rut. Perhaps the songs are slightly more, dare I say, commercial, but I don't think The Clash have changed much. From 'London's Burning' to 'London Calling' the Clash progression is for the better, and they're still the best group this country has got.
'Fifth Man' Bushell seems to be obsessed in creating a Clash/Stones comparison. The Rolling Stones are an aged and faded rock band who have lost all interest and commitment in creating new songs. The Clash are simply... The Clash. - Martin French, South London.
