it's official The Jam are 10 times better than The Clash

Let's not.

I guess The Clash have always been the "critics choice" of the two bands, but personally I prefer The Jam.

The received wisdom used to be that the Sex Pistols were manufactured / put together, and that The Clash were the real deal.

The more you read about their respective histories, the more you find that its almost the exact opposite.

And, of course, that it doesn't matter in the great scheme of things.
