Here's one for the prigs at Princeton. The Sex Pistols: PiL as The Clash: ? (A: Big Audio Dynamite.) BAD was led by former Clashman Mick Jones and picked up where that band's dub experimentation left off, mixing reggae rhythms, multimedia sound snippets (often from recognizable films) and plain old rock and roll into an unusual, agitated and (most of all) fresh sound. However, what seemed like a new road to ruin proved to be only an interesting detour, and BAD (like PiL) grew increasingly irrelevant with time. The Clash comparisons are surprisingly few, though their second album (which features Joe Strummer) could be considered a reunion record.
