I'm far from arguing Madball is a more "important" band that the Clash...that's an idiotic argument. That still doesn't mean I have to not be bored by them.


Honestly, my comment had nothing to do with your statement, I was just laughing about anyone bringing The Clash into a discussion on something like Madball. I never meant to imply that everybody is required to find the music of The Clash to be the most exciting thing they ever heard, just pointing out that one is a musically important band that deserves to rank pretty highly on a historical scale and the other isn't even worth a mention. By calling that first record Madball's "peak", my meaning was that I find it to be their most creative point, everything they've done since then follows a formula I find to be not only boring, but forced.

My original comment in this thread was meant to be a humorous interjection in a conversation amongst friends. I think it's hilarious that someone was so threatened by it they had to drag in a much better band that has nothing to do with this at all in an attempt to make it some sort of "either/or" scenario between two things that have nothing in common besides basic instrumentation.

Threatened? Jesus fuck buddy. Are you so void of any sense of humor that you really took it that seriously. I would say its been a long running thing on here that I talk shit about the Clash and I use my dislike of them as a joke now more then anything. I was also drunk when I wrote that. You should try it sometime.

Threatened. Ya that's it.
