	The Music Box: The Clash - The Essential Clash (DVD Review)
		Then, spend some time with The Essential Clash, a DVD that serves as a less vital, but no less intriguing companion to the double-disc retrospective of the same title.
		Nevertheless, it takes nothing away from the fact that The Clash was a powerhouse band, one of the most influential and important ensembles in the history of rock ’n‘ roll, and The Essential Clash captures the group in all its glory.
		Make no mistake, none of this quite earns the "essential" label granted to the DVD by its title, but the set is a fascinating document, nonetheless, that might have been made somewhat better had it all been placed into context with the inclusion of a commentary or two.

	Ink 19 :: The Essential Clash DVD
		It's debatable whether The Clash were "the only band that matter(ed)," but it goes without question that the impact they had on rock music was enormous.
		It is the visual parallel to the Essential CD, a chronicle of the band's rise from Britain's gutter pubs to opening for The Who at New York's Shea Stadium.
		The story is rife with typical Clash ideology: the lowest of the lower class taking from their would-be oppressors and exploiters by any means necessary.

	DVD.net : The Clash - Essential Clash - DVD Review
		At a time when the music world needed a massive kick up its clacker they were part of a vanguard of bands with boots big enough to deliver it, and instrumental in combining pop and politics in a fashion which has thankfully survived in various genres to this day.
		The differences in quality essentially come down to the medium on which the clips were filmed — with those such as White Riot that were shot on video looking quite remarkably good considering their age.
		The Clash were one of the leaders of a movement which gave rock one hell of a needed reality check in the late ‘70s.

		A mix of high-end guitar and low, melodic bass gave the Clash a sound tied into early punk, but characteristically different than their heavier counterparts.
		Later albums would venture into new territory for the Clash musically, helping them to establish themselves as one of rock'n'roll's greatest bands, dabbling in reggae, rockabilly, gospel and funk, fusing each with their charged punk ideology.

		The Clash "were just about the most important band to ever walk the planet," writer Pat Gilbert said in the liner notes to an upcoming greatest hits set.
		Strummer's job in the Clash was drawing up the concert set lists, so he took particular interest in helping decide what went on "The Essential Clash," Simonon said.
		But he realized "The Essential Clash" is primarily for a generation that didn't get to experience the band first-hand, young fans who hear their heroes talk about the Clash as an influence and want to check them out.

		From their earliest days as a band, The Clash stood apart from their peers with their musicianship, as well as their lyrics; the passionate, righteous political idealism in the lyrics by frontmen Joe Strummer and Mick Jones was a definite contrast to the nihilism of the Sex Pistols and the simplicity of The Ramones.

	The Clash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		From their earliest days as a band, the Clash stood apart from their punk peers with their musicianship, as well as their lyrics; the passionate, left wing political idealism in the lyrics of frontmen Joe Strummer and Mick Jones contrasted with the anarchic nihilism of the Sex Pistols and the basic simplicity of the Ramones.
		Initially, The Clash were notable for their strident leftist political outlook and distinctive clothes, self painted with Jackson Pollock-style paint splashes and revolutionary slogans, such as "Sten Guns in Knightsbridge," "Under Heavy Manners," and "Heavy Discipline".
		The Clash were one of the headliners of this festival, along with David Bowie and Van Halen.

		For punk that would be the Clash, who were brilliant songwriters, could really play their instruments, never cared about the confines of musical categories, and are deservedly influential.
		There isnt much more to say, the Clash were great, and while some could argue that some of their output was uneven, it just goes to show that they were open-minded.

		It's been 25 years since The Clash spat out their first stuttering chords, and London is a very different town to the one they set out to shake up and tear apart.
		The Essential Clash CD, part of Sony's "Essential" series, is however a pretty much perfect overlook of the band's brief history and unless you own all of the Clash's individual albums (which you should), can truly be called essential.
		The section opens with a trailer for The Clash on Broadway, a wonderful document displaying the excitement, riots, and general unrest that descended upon New York in the summer of 1981 when the Fire Department attempted to shut down a series of Clash gigs at Bonds in Times Square.

		This is definitely one of the better early Clash songs, and shows why they were considered a punk group overall.
		However, in the end, neither of these two really affect the overall grade of The Essential Clash, which is a blessing.
		Except for a couple or three average songs, The Essential Clash is a very good compilation of The Clash.

		So I figured that when The Clash had a compilation coming out a couple years ago that it would suck because 1)More than likely, I'd have heard it all before, 2)Again, it's a compilation album and 3)Several of the bands best songs would likely be neglected in the end.
		The Essential Clash is a two disc set, with fourty of the bands most well known songs.
		The Clash were too ****ing good for a compilation, man. You have to get the full albums for these guys.

		The Essential Clash demonstrates once again why the Clash were so much better than any of their punk peers.
		When Clash frontman Joe Strummer died, aged only 50, in late 2002, much was made of the political conscience he had brandished throughout his career.
		The Clash are undoubtedly one of the best british bands ever, and this compilation is a must-have for any clash fan and will probably be a good introduction for younger people who have never heard of the clash.

		Not only is London Calling the finest effort that The Clash ever released, but it’s also one of the best and most influential albums in the history of rock ’n‘ roll.
		Indeed, much of The Essential Clash’s first disc combines tracks from the U.S. and U.K. versions of the group’s eponymous debut and augments this with the finer selections from the archival Black Market Clash and the potent Give ’Em Enough Rope.
		To that end, The Essential Clash is not only a snapshot of history, but also a perfect summation of a brilliant career and a fitting tribute to Joe Strummer.

		The inclusion of the DVD helps to offset some of the wobbly selections on the previously released two-disc CD anthology, and it is most likely that die-hard fans will already have the video clips courtesy of the previous DVD or other video/DVD compilations.
		But for those just now discovering the richness of the Clash, it's a wonderful package to tear into and get lost in for a few hours.
		This is essential music for any collection focusing on the greatest music of the past century, and it also serves as an ideal and accessible textbook introduction to a band whose influence will resonate for generations to come.
