The bassline to Guns of Brixton is so awesome.

I love the intro to London Calling
I will still air drum Topper when I hear it

 

[Slacker]

One of the best album covers ever, too.

As my sister the Elvis fan pointed out to me, it was styled after this

The Clash did some awesome covers and "Brand New Cadillac" would be right near the top of that list.

"The Card Cheat" is one of my favourite Clash songs, real epic feel to that one right from the start.

 

[Driftwood]

Love the video for London Calling.

My favorite Clash song. Probably 4 of my top 5, if not all, would come from London Calling.

My favorite Clash song
Anger can be power if you know how to use it

Guns of Brixton and Spanish Bombs are my favorite tracks. Jake, let me know when you want to break down Sandinista.

"Train in Vain" would make my very short list of favorite songs by anyone.

Guns of Brixton and Spanish Bombs are my favorite tracks. Jake, let me know when you want to break down Sandinista.

Sandinista gets knocked for being a big, bloated mess -- which it is -- but it's still better than Combat Rock.
