(BBC) London (94.9) calling - The Clash special

The Clash might not have always received the recognition they deserved in the British Rock pantheon.

But on the other side of the Atlantic it's always been a different story.

And ahead of The Clash taking their rightful place in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, former band members Mick Jones and Paul Simonon spoke exclusively to Gary Crowley.

Despite not being interviewed together for years, the pair were candid about their time in the group and their influence on music.

They also talked about the recent death of Joe Strummer, the band's history, their upcoming induction into The Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, and all stops in between.
