So which drummer made "the only band that mattered" better?

I think I'll have to go with "Chimes/Crimes" since he's one of the originals and he came back anyway... plus Headon was said to have been deported from the US for manslaughter! [|)](was that really true?) although he was there indeed when the band was rig

If this question had been asked pre - Westway to the World, I would have been undecided. having seen it, I'm all about Nick "Topper" Headon, as the quintesential Clash drummer. I do think he's a superior player, but short of his subsequent Heroin addictio

Nothing against Tory Crimes, but Topper was at the sticks when I learned to love the Clash. London Calling and Sandinista got me through my adolescence. The debut is amazing, but it's like preferring the Beatles when Pete Best drummed for them... well,
