Have ever been as good as the Stranglers?

If they tried a bit harder or wrote a few more good songs?......

Nah, don't think so.

Stranglers wrote a good song???

Nah, i don't think so.

No more heroes anymore blah blah blah... Iggy Pop is also better than
Stranglers... music is just like the name, stranglers...boring.

If Clash had ever been as good as the Stranglers, they'd probably never be
the first brittish band since the Beatles to sell more than 1 million
records in the US.... 138 copies would be more likely.... :-P

Nontheless: Stranglers DID have a few good songs, no more heroes being one,
nice n sleazy being two....

Ha Ha Ha - Where the hell do you get your completely inacurate
information???

1st Band since the Beatles to sell 1 Million??? I'll let you into a secret

Pink Floyd........had an album in the American charts for longer than Mick
Jones was in the Clash!! Dark side of the moon sold about 15 million when
Strummer was in the 101ers.

Led Zeppelin IV - 24 Million in the US alone at last count.

But I digress - Who the hell equates record sales and American record sales
at that to equate the greatness of a band.....would you say The Eagles
[Greatest Hits 71-75........34Million sales and counting] are better than
the Clash.??

The Clash were a great band regardless of what they sold - But I have to
admit The Stranglers 77-79 were better!!!!!

Nonsense. Music is also measured by *influence* and The Stranglers
influenced less people (I am talking worldwide) than The Clash. Also The
Clash had more powerful songs, songs that do ratatatata like machine guns in
a sort of way. To explain you, The Clash were on the stage like soldiers
hehe. That's the real rock attitude that lacks todays band :)
Yes, you can say whatever you like but unless you prove it by facts it's
nonsense. So bring here 20 best The Stranglers songs and compare it in depth
with The Clash' 20 best (I will tell you 20 best hehe) and compare it,
lyrics, musically etc... Bring also 10 experts. And put a goverment approval
on top of that!!!
I tell you, impossible mission because everybody and that bird on the tree
knows that The Clash is better and only band that matters :))

Could the Clash have reformed without Joe Strummer, but with Brittney
Spears as their new lead singer? I understand that she does a killer
version of London Calling.

joke mode on:
Only Samantha Fox! We people are very hungry of teats...

Well Samantha Fox has sung with Hawkwind so anything is possible!!

In 2000 Samantha Fox sang Silver Machine on stage with Hawkwind in London so
I suppose it's not such a daft suggestion!!!
