The Clash vs. Patti Smith
The Clash were the rebellious, left-wing snipers in the punk tradition. With their politicized lyrics, and their incorporation of reggae, funk, and rockabilly, they crafted lean, mean tunes about the dark political and economic state in England.
A big figure in the New York punk rock scene, Patti Smith started incorporating piano balladry and jazz early on. Penning songs with multiple sections of multiple moods and tempos, she served as an inspiration to many future post-punkers.

I enjoy Patti's work, Radio Ethiopia especially, but I can't describe her as any better than "good". The Clash, however, although not always amazing, have some really exceptional material under their belt.

The Clash for sure. Never really got into Patti Smith, but I more than appreciate Horses for how early it came out. Then again, the whole of Clash's debut is outstanding...
