The Clash were a 70s band and you're missing The Cure
tbh this is more 80s kids than 90s
They may have started in the mid-late 70s, but London Calling was released Dec, 1979, and Combat Rock was ‘82. I think calling them an ‘80s band is fair.
Yeah, I think I just associate punk rock with the 70's, whereas the others are definitely more 80s. I'd swap Joy Division for New Order for the perfect set.
At least The Clash remained an active band throughout the 80s. Joy Division is by all rights a 70s band. Ian Curtis died five months into 1980.
By the 80’s, Joy Division was New Order
