Influences/ Inspiration

The Jam, The Clash, The Undertones, Sham 69, The Buzzcocks,
The Sex Pistols, The Who and Paul Wellar
All of these bands had a huge influence on their fans during the era. They each had an iconic image as well as a dstinctive voice to match. The success they had came with the help of having epic front men, such as The Clashes Joe Strummer, The Jams Paul Wellar and The Sex Pistols Sid Viscous.


The Clash- London Calling
Whether this image is seen with or without the writing, it is very iconic. London Calling was The Clashs 3rd album and recieved a brilliant reception. I was voted 2nd in the list of the Top 100 Albums of the 70s and appeared on Radio One's masterpieces in 2009.



The Sex Pistols- God Save The Queen

Both the cover and song was controversial, due to the fact it was released during Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee. It was their 2nd single released. Due to the controversy surrounding the song meant that both the BBC and the Independent Broadcasting Authority opted against playing the song.
