Ananova:

The Clash have been awarded the Inspiration Award in music magazine Mojo's Honours List.

The awards, which also featured The Kinks' Ray Davies, recognise career-long contributions to music.

Mojo editor-in-chief Phil Alexander said the Clash had a "pushy bravado" which created songs "that remain as powerful and relevant today".

Davies, described as "consistently brilliant", won the songwriter prize for writing "classic material".

Davies wrote classic 1960s songs such as Waterloo Sunset, You Really Got Me and Lola.

Other stars honoured by the awards included James Brown, Marianne Faithfull, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Morrissey, Sting and the Black Eyed Peas.
