The Clash released "Combat Rock," by far their best-selling album, after "London Calling." Although album sales is not the only component of popularity, it is an important one. It is hard to deny that the success "Combat Rock" actually increased the popularity of the Clash, although these new ers represented a far different fan base than what the band was used to. The blame for that lies squarely on the shoulders of the band themselves for releasing an album that obviously pandered to the pop music community. That said, I don't think they meet the criteria for inclusion on this list.
