I listened to liked both at the time, but its comparing apples to hand grenades.

Obviously, but to say the Clash was “the only band that mattered” is ridiculous.

No, this was a slogan from the time, "The only band that matters".
I hope I would have come to the same place anyway, but for me, the Clash completely revolutionized my understanding of politics.

Just press hyperbole. Remember when Springsteen was the future of rock n roll, Clapton was god, etc.

So just because it’s press hyperbole we have to accept it? Exhibit A: Clapton, god?

No, it is a reference to a catch phrase.

Yes, you have to accept it. Or the press will never speak to you again.
