I'm amazed no body has mentioned it. Perhaps it's too cliche so we're all avoiding it like the plague but I'll say it;

London Calling.

Yeah, it's a great song. However, for me, even at the time, it was one of the weaker songs on the album of the same name. For similar reasons, I doubt people will suggest Rock The Casbah or Should I Stay Or Should I Go.

This is England.

this

Really not this. I find it hard to accept that anything off Cut The Crap goes under the name The Clash. No Mick Jones, no Clash.

 

[The Modfather]

Janie Jones

 

[Wendy Wilkins]

White Man in Hammersmith Palais. Loads of great material to vie for a top 5/10/25....etc

 

[Lower West Stander]

i've been through all 5 pages of this thread and cannot believe no one has mentioned Card Cheat.

Just magnificent.

Yes, but that whole album is stuffed full of fantastic songs. As are all of their other albums.

Well I'm going to say 'Rock the Casbah' because it is bloody splendid.

With a gun to the head it would be WMIHP, but the sheer joy of the Clash is that you can dive into any LP, or EP, and be fully immersed in all its splendour.

Currently the tune spinning round my head is Charlie Don't Surf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1lc4rqh7ZU

 

[The Maharajah of Sydney]

Guns of Brixton !!!

It's not just The Clash's best song... it's THE best ever song full stop !

Safe European Home

...running into English Civil War...

...running into Tommy Gun.

As the best 1-2-3 opening to any album, ever.

Live, also Safe European Home.
