Is this the most iconic picture in rock?

Raw emotion, the picture that defined The Clash... and rock

🔥 Rock the Casbah

🔥 London Calling

🔥 Should I Stay or Should I Go

 

While some argue that The Clash were unpolished, and their recordings flawed, I would argue that their raw emotions more than make up for their lack of sophistication.

The iconic picture of bassist Paul Simonon seconds before smashing his bass, captured by Pennie Smith is also as flawed: out of focus, over exposed, not polished at all.

The iconic picture that captures what rock is all about.
