best clash song

[Maurice Picarda]

This for me, too.

And for Whigfield.

 

[cozmikbrew]

Guns of Brixton or Radio Clash probably,seem to like em more now,didnt rate em as a young Punk rocker

 

[Stanley Edwards]

All lost in the Supermarket...

Still my favourite, and it still goes around my brains everytime I go shopping stoned.

 

[stethoscope]

Difficult, but I return to Bankrobber/Robberdub the most, followed by Armagideon Time.

All of the Blackmarket Clash 10" is just perfect imo.

[Maggot]

Armagideon Time for me too.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Straight to hell. It's lyrically and musically extremely affecting.
Honorable mention to "Lost in the supermarket" - always liked that for some reason.

 

[audiotech]

Clampdown.



"Greed, it ain't going anywhere..."

 

[Thraex]

I think for me it'd have to be Tommy Gun, followed by White Man In.., then London Calling.

 

[audiotech]

For anyone who hasn't seen it the full version of "The Clash - Westway to the World"

 

[DotCommunist]

oh good shout on Tommy Gun

 

[Thraex]

First Clash single I bought, wasn't ever really into them but even now the start of it tingles my spine.

 

[andy2002]

White Man In Hammersmith Palais

 

[Libertad]

Still makes me choke up...

Difficult, but I return to Bankrobber/Robberdub the most, followed by Armagideon Time.

That's exactly my answer. Followed by Guns of Brixton.

 

[kodokan]

How about my daddy was an officer in the army,
.....does not quite have the same ring about it.

What the fuck are you on about?

 

[danny la rouge]

What the fuck are you on about?

He's traducing Joe's memory. Inaccurately.

 

[past caring]

I know.

 

[The39thStep]

Got to be London Calling but I have a real soft spot for their version of Brand New Cadillac

 

[danny la rouge]

I know.

He's a fearless iconoclast.

 

[past caring]

Rebel without a brain.

 

[kodokan]

What the fuck are you on about?

Mick Jones oldman was an SAS officer as opposed to bank robber.

And Joe Strummers a diplomat.

The upper middle class fascination for gangsters and the "lower orders" is quite curious.

The clash had a romantic view of things they had never experienced.

Maybe its like some working class people suddenly getting serious cash and running with the horse and hounds set.

Ultimately the clash made nice sounds but were coroprate puppets.

On the annoying scale they are not quite up there with tax dodger Bono in his cowboy hat lecturing in world poverty but they are still phoney.

4 real.

You fucking clown.

 

[kodokan]

You fucking clown.

Dont get your knickers in a twist.

Didn't Coolio really live life in a Gangster's Paradise? Please say it ain't true.
