Jones is considered one of the most influential punk guitarists of all time. It can also be argued that his influence goes beyond the punk genre. Though The Clash enjoyed its initial success in the 1970s, Jones was obviously a major reason later albums like Sandinista! (1980) and Combat Rock (1982) are among the band’s most commercially viable, but also well respected. When he left The Clash in the mid-1980s, Jones enjoyed success with General Public and, perhaps most notably, Big Audio Dynamite.
