The Clash are considered to be one of the finest punk rock bands of all time, which is awfully interesting considering that they only recorded one punk rock record. What they should be remembered for instead is the incredible level of innovation, inspiration, and diversity that they displayed on their records as they expanded their musical knowledge and... umm... you know, learned how to play their instruments and crap. Everything from dub reggae to wimp pop to boogie funk to artsy poetry and all kindsa weird stuff creeps up on London Calling, Combat Rock ("Rock," my ass! There are maybe three rock songs on there!), and Sandinista!. Real neat stuff. Unfortunately, right near the end, lead vocalist Joe Strummer tossed out guitarist Mick Jones and transformed the band into a rancid (get it?) parody of its formerly glorious self. Still, keeping in mind that they were one of the very few British "punk" bands that stuck around long enough to prove that they were as smart as they were snotty.

How I forgot the Buzzcocks in my top five who knows. Buzzcocks come in at 2 pushing the Banshees down.

I say they had two "Punk" records. The Clash and Give em' Enough Rope.

From what I understand is that they heard a Ramones album, said, "Hey we can play that easy!" and started playing "Punk", but I could be wrong.

Sort of, they went to a Pistols gig allegedly and the prog rockers they were decided to become punks for the reason you outlined.
