I think if it had a melodic section that came in as a refrain once in a while (somewhat like RAD), it could be improved enormously. Saying this as someone who likes it.
Wise men and street kids don't become a great team sounding like the Police, boys. I dig KYR entirely for its abrasiveness.
Hello,

I prefer abrasive Clash. You can't move forward without friction.
You can if you're on a downward slippery slope. ;)
Hello,

Agreed. Edit my comment to add "on a level playing field" and include the gravity of the Clash can bring about movement.

I quite enjoyed it until about 2:51, where Fallon showed his SNL roots by carrying on for 30% too long.

All the times he berated The Clash the cover of his book still has a pic of the band on the front.

Dexys and The Specials were as big as The Clash in terms of success. Both of those band's have the same pulling power as The Clash and you know full well if Bernie was involved for more than 5 minutes then they only exist because of him.
