The Clash rightfully earned a reputation as "the only band that mattered," but, sadly, they flamed out quickly. Little significant came of the band after they hit it big; they splintered into several pieces, the most successful of which was Big Audio Dynamite. This was Mick Jones' hip hop experiment - briefly including Joe Strummer, too. They produced several decent albums, though no one but Clash-o-phile completists needs them all. Rather, Planet Bad: Greatest Hits presents an astute selection of the band's best jams - audio pastiches like "E=MC2," "C'mon Every Beatbox," and "Rush" - all the B.A.D. you'll ever need. So, pick it up and spend the money you save on Clash records. You'll be glad you did.
