#TheClash were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 12 years ago today. "When I spoke with #JoeStrummer in November, his ears were ringing. He and his band the Mescaleros had just finished rehearsing for a U.K. tour, and he hadn't even spoken with his former Clash bandmates — #MickJones, #PaulSimonon and Nicky "Topper" Headon — about their election to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That level of recognition was not common for the Clash during the five to 10 years (depending on whether you count the 1985 Jones-and-Headon-less 'Cut the Crap' album) they were a band. Although their combination of raw punk power, world beats and politically charged lyrics produced one of punk rock's greatest records, 1977's 'The Clash,' and one of rock & roll's greatest record's, 1979's 'London Calling,' but the Clash didn't break in the U.S. the way the Police or AC/DC did.... 'When I heard the news, I put my fist up and said, "Like Babe Ruth!"' Strummer says. 'I just didn't know what to say. You only put it together later when you start to think, "There is that old beat-up guitar I started out on propped up in the corner... And then it hits you: "Wow, I'm in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!"'" From RollingStone.com. Photograph by Michael Putland.
