Most bloody likely. At one point, as they were on their way to becoming one of the biggest bands in the world (that "only band that matters" crap) some people really hated the Clash - singing about "Complete Control" while being on CBS was considered a completely unacceptable paradox. And the post-punkers hated the Clash for reverting to classic styles while they were pushing things forward musically like it hadn't been done since the '60s.
Me, I love the self-titled debut (UK VERSION, PLEASE; the US edition is [was? is it still in print?] an unrecognizable Frankenstein) and
London Calling.
