Your Top 5 Clash songs?

[Zenit]

I'm still bummed.... spent my Xmas Eve listening to all that I have.....

My top 5:

1. (tie) Safe European Home, Police & Thieves
2. Guns of Brixton
3. Ghetto Defendant
4. London Calling
5. (tie) Somebody Got Murdered, Magnificent Seven, Lost in The Supermarket

Extremely Honorable Mention: Spanish Bombs, Know Your Rights, I'm So Bored with the USA, Clash City Rockers, Hateful, Jimmy Jazz, Clampdown, Straight to Hell, Brand New Cadillac, This is Radio Clash, & about 50-75 or so others......


(BTW, my copy of "Somebody Got Murdered is so butchered...looking on KaZaa, inexplicably no one
has that up...anyone else have a link to a decent mp3 file?)

I'll give my reasons for the 5 later....if anyone else thinks this might be a thread worthwhile.

1. Complete Control
2. Train in Vain
3. Stay Free
4. Washington Bullets
5. Janie Jones

Really har dto narrow it down to 5. Ask me tomorrow and I might have a completely different 5.

Hmmm...I have a few Clash albums; not the biggest fan of them, but to pay respect for the late Joe Strummer, here's my top 5 picks:

- Straight to hell (no pun intended...)
- Hitsville hits UK
- White Riot
- Police & Thieves
- The magnificent seven

RIP, Joe...

I also spent all day yesterday and today playing Clash records. Really sad news.

Giving a top five will be tough, but here goes:

5. "The Card Cheat"
4. "Janie Jones"
3. "Know Your Rights"
2. "Complete Control"
1. "The Magnificent Seven"

What a fantastic group they were. They represented everything music should.

[Cascarino's Pizzeria]

5. "White Man in Hammersmith Palais"
4. "Rudie Can't Fail"
3. "White Riot"
2. "The Card Cheat"
1. "I'm Not Down"

Just mix & match tracks from "London Calling" and you have nearly 20 awesome songs. I can't think of any album that I own that kicks ass from top to bottom like "London Calling." It was literally a wake-up call for me and it always bring back great memories of growing up in the 80s and not always fitting in. I even cut my hair similar to Joe's style circa "Combat Rock" (caught hell for that from the "school authorities"). Sorry to see you go, Joe.
