They have a "best of the 80's" countdown going on, and they said "London Calling" came out in 1982?!?

They also claimed The Clash broke up in 1986, which is also not true. Even if you count that horrible excuse for a band that made "Cut The Crap" they were done in 85. (and thank Dad for that)

1. This is what Wilki says
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Clash

I happen to like them... to each their own I guess.

2. I loved the REAL Clash
Just not that abortion of a band that existed after Mick & Topper got axed. It might have been a decent Joe Strummer solo record, except Bernie Rhodes had to be a dick about the whole thing.

3. The only thing I liked about that countdown
was that it had Mike Mills of R.E.M. commenting...:9

and WTF was up with "It's the End of the World as We Know It" being # 69 on the list!?!?! It should have been higher, imho. Or at least have "The One I Love" or something....meh.
