What is your favourite Clash song?

[Idaho]

It's not really backslapping as we aren't the clash

 

[maximilian ping]

armagidion time
bank robber
magnificent 7
stay free
rock the casbah
guns of brixton
lost in the supermarket
straight to hell

 

[Iam]

Can't pick just one, but if I was going to play a track of theirs right now, it'd be...

Rudie Can't Fail

 

[ohmyliver]

Clash City Rockers for me

Or I'm not down

or career oppotunities

hang on is this like desert island clash disks

in which case I'll come up with the other 5 in a mo

 

[Sir Belchalot]

What's My Name for me. One of those songs that make me feel like I've just done a line of speed.

 

[art of fact]

for some reason the clash song i used to always boogie down to was train in vein... must be my cheesey side coming out

 

[northernhord]

Erm, not one that sticks out as a Fav, but ere we go anyhow

What's my name
White riot
Complete Control
White Man in Hammersmith Palais
Safe European home

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

What's my name is fucking great, there's a live video of them doing it and the ferocity of Joe Strummer spitting out the lyrics just blows me away.

Yeah, Tizza a raw tune to be sure

 

[twistedAM]

Not my fave band but I love TRAIN IN VAIN

 

[moose]

Stay Free (hence my tagline)

 

[Maggot]

Armagideon Time for me. A great tune and it reminds me of when I first started getting stoned at about 15.

 

[*Miss Daisy*]

Daddy was a bank robber

and others

 

[Kaka Tim]

too many to pick jsut one.

White man in Hammersmith Palais.
Clash City Rockers.
Londons Calling, Clampdown, whats my name?, armegeddion time, guns of brixton, straight to hell ...

 

[Voley]

Can't really pick one but 'London Calling's gotta be a major contender.

Although 'Spanish Bombs' takes some beating. And the live version of 'I Fought The Law off , erm, the live one, whatever it was called.

There's loads. I could be here all night ...

 

[Voley]

'Somebody Got Murdered' used to get me leaping around me bedroom splintering furniture in my wake when I was a yoot, too.

 

[gininteacups]

Complete Control
The Card Cheat (underrated I reckon)
Remote Control
Clampdown
Tommygun

off the top of my head... loads more though, cant remember where i put my 'Give em Enough Rope' cd

 

[Blagsta]

Know Your Rights

 

[dumbass]

I like 'i fought the law'

 

[DJ Squelch]

Not really a Clash song but they did the music on New York graffiti legend Futura 2000's - Escapades Of Futura 2000 which has always been a favourite of mine.

[audiotech]

Bankrobber.

 

[Stanley Edwards]

Definitely NOT their best, but definitely my fav:

I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for that special offer
A guaranteed personality

This is England is second favourite, but again, far from the best.

 

[damnhippie]

Lost in the Supermarket is one of the best pop songs ever! and Rock the Casbah will make anyone dance. these are my favourites...

 

[rekil]

I mean the musical genre that arose as an antidote to prog, yet how long was it before they were releasing a triple concept album of white boy reggae?

They released a triple album in order to get out of their contract.

 

[rekil]

White Man In Hammersmith Palais.

 

[Big Jim]

Rock The Casbah.

 

[joevsimp]

Can't really pick one but 'London Calling's gotta be a major contender.

Although 'Spanish Bombs' takes some beating...

i love that, theres a lot of Mickey Gallaghah's (?) organ playing on that album that i really like, specially spanish bombs
