I haven't seen much discussion hereabouts of old Mick's post-Clash joint. I was genuinely fond of their dub/hiphop/house groove, and give them points for Don Letts' samples & being early on the baggy bandwagon. Answers?

First 2 records & the Globe - almost classic. OK - first record classic, other 2 I mentioned, nearly classic. Even though I really can't stand to listen to them anymore.

15-some-odd years later, I still think that "The Bottom Line" is one of the great 80s singles.

Plus 2600 uses "Much Worse" (a non-album b-side) as the theme music for "Off The Hook".

Well, they certainly ran rings around both the CUT THE CRAP-era Clash and Havana 3am, but those are hardly impressive feats.

SEARCH: "The Bottom Line," "E=MC2", "Medicine Show," "Contact," "Rush" "The Globe."

DESTROY: "C'mon Every Beatbox," "Just Play Music", their silly hats circa #10 UPPING STREET, the title of that album, their annoyingly cumbersome habit of changing their name (first Big Audio Dynamite, then Big Audio Dynamite II and the simply Big Audio) and everything they did after 1991. Everything after THE GLOBE was a....wait for it....Big Audio Mistake!

Funny how time has washed over some of the differences between BAD and The Clash. You could slide "Rewind" into Combat Rock and I probably wouldn't notice
