Pete Townsend was influenced by the Clash and the Clash's friendship with the WHO is legendary. Rodger Daltry sang on Joes last album.
Brian May helped support Joe's wife with the Gorillas appeal gig and was a friend and admirer of Joe.
And last week Bob Dylan who likes the Clash [and its his sons favourite band] opened up his encores with London Calling! He is a friend of Mick Jones [Clash] and at some point Mick may go in to the studio with Dylan to do some recording.
Daltry, Townsend, May [and thats just the ones you put up!] plus Dylan.
If there was any justice Joe would be on that list.
