Joe Strummer is best known as the frontman of The Clash, one of the seminal punk bands.

His musical career did not begin with the Clash, however, but with the pub-rock band the 101ers, who played a frenetic, if somewhat traditional, form of R&B.

After the 101ers, he became the vocalist/rhythm guitarist for the Clash, then set out as a solo artist, which he would later refer to as his "wilderness years".

When Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, and Bernie Rhodes asked him to join their new project, he quit the 101ers and joined what would become the Clash.

This is the period of time Strummer is most well known for, his work with the Clash from 1976 to 1985.

In their 9 year career, the Clash produced 6 full-length albums (one a double album, and one a triple), along with non-album singles too numerous to count.

All good things must end, however, and in 1985 the Clash called it a career, and Strummer was dumped into his wilderness years.

It was here that Strummer was able to fully explore his interests in world music, which he began to explore near the end of the Clash's tenure.

His songs were as good as the ones he wrote with Jones in the Clash days.

Mick Jones was the lead guitarist for the Clash.

Jones wrote most of the music for the Clash, with Joe Strummer providing the lyrics.

After being fired from the Clash, he went on to form Big Audio Dynamite, which later became Big Audio Dynamite II, and then, finally, Big Audio.

Before there was the Clash, there was the London SS.

He was the most soft-spoken of the group, and played a big role in incorporating rap and hip-hop into the Clash's sound.
