[kj] Killing Joke: Clash influenced?

[Karen Weil]

I totally agree, Greg. If I never hear either of those '82 tunes, it will suit me fine. But, as I recall from my very bratty grammar school years, "Train in Vain" got a lot of airplay on U.S. rock radio -- as it should have.

  The ONLY Clash you ever hear on commercial radio in the US were Casbah and Should I Stay, their two worst songs by a long shot (ok, Train in Vain got a little play too, which isn't that bad)...

   Changing direction on the Clash though, it's amazing how often on the radio/T.V. that the most oft played tunes are, I Fought The Law and Rock The Casbah, absolute pooh in my book, proper cack!
