The Clash were an English  band that formed in 1976 as part of the original wave of British punk. Along with punk, their music incorporated elements of , , , and . For most of their recording career the Clash consisted of  (lead vocals, rhythm guitar),  (lead guitar, vocals),  (, vocals) and  (drums, percussion). Headon left the group in 1982, and internal friction led to Jones' departure the following year. The group continued with new members, but finally disbanded in early 1986.

The Clash achieved commercial success in the United Kingdom with the release of their debut album, , in 1977. Their third album, , released in the UK in December 1979, earned them popularity in the United States when it came out there the following month. It was declared the best album of the 1980s a decade later by magazine. In 1982 they reached new heights of success with the release of , which spawned the US top 10 hit "", helping the album to achieve a 2x Platinum certification there. Their final album, , was released in 1985.

The Clash's politicised lyrics, musical experimentation, and rebellious attitude had a far-reaching influence on rock, in particular. They became widely referred to as "The Only Band That Matters", originally a promotional slogan introduced by the group's record label, . In January 2003, the band—including original drummer —were inducted into the . In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked the Clash number 28 on their list of the 100 greatest artists of all time.

Critic Sean Egan summarised what made them exceptional by writing, "They were a group whose music was, and is, special to their audience because that music insisted on addressing the conditions of poverty, petty injustice, and mundane life experienced by the people who bought their records. Moreover, although their rebel stances were often no more than posturing, from The Clash’s stubborn principles came a fundamental change in the perception of what is possible in the music industry, from subject matter to authenticity to quality control to price ceilings."
