Title: Whaaaat?!
Review: While I don't doubt that the Clash has had musical influences on just about any musician in the 80's and 90's, I find it hard to believe that these made-for-alt-pop-commercial pabulum spewers were the best they could find to acknowledge this (exceptions to the Bosstones and Cube). This compilation just goes to prove that corporate music has reinserted its head up its arse - one of the very things the Clash railed against in the late 70's. I mean c'mon - 311...Third Eye Blind! Give the chance to cover our heros to those who follow in their footsteps and force change in a stagnant music industry - no matter what musical genre. I've heard Jr. Brown covers the Clash - there's a novel idea. Please, if you want to pay tribute to these legends, find another way. Do not buy this album.
