OK, so, before there was gangsta rap the Clash was telling it like it is (was). Here is a song sung by the bassist, Paul Simmonen. I believe it's the only song he ever sang. It was released in 1978. Give it a listen.Guns of Brixton
This next song was released by the Descendents in 1982. Never heard of them? Well, all of todays pop-punk are bands trying to sound like the Descendents 20 years ago. Here is thier philosophy on the the subject...Suburban Home.
