I like both, although neither of them are regular listens. But I like my favourite Clash songs more than my favourite Sex Pistols songs. I also like bands with a conscience, and bands who are prepared to try out different styles, and with The Clash that means anything from punk to reggae to jazz, and whatever else they fancied at the time.
I recall on Westway to the World Joe Strummer saying that if someone had suggested using a balilaika, the band would have responded by demanding the biggest balilaikas in the world.
In both cases I prefer the subsequent projects of members ie Public Image Limited and Big Audio Dynamite.
