+ 1 for ton’s list

Straight to Hell
Rock the casbah
White Man In hammersmith

My fav 3.
This is England – not strictly The Clash I know and I think I’ll prob be alone in liking this but I **** love it)
Bankrobber – used to listen to it all day as a kid on one of those old drop down record players that you could switch to repeat.
Dub be good to me – prefer it to guns of Brixton

The first two definitely but I’d add Hammersmith Palais and Hitsville UK

just when you feel old .. someone pops up and reminds you how great it was to be young way back when.. The Clash.. always the best. ( closely followed by ACDC, Rush, Hawkwind..)

impossible- can’t be done: too too many to pic one. All of the above have put my tiny mind into overload. Not even gonna try , it just cannae be done!

I was going to say that, but I’d have to go with London Calling. Or maybe Tommy Gun, or er, English Civil War. No, Death or Glory. Hang on, gota be Train in Vain. Or White Man in Hammersmith Palais. or…

Today it’s Death or Glory / Stay Free / Police and Thieves / Julie’s been working for the drug squad / Bankrobber / and still Train in Vain

+ 1 for ton’s list

You disinterred a 4 month old thread just to agree with ton?

COAB.

Oh here goes, just to expand Ton’s list:

The Magnificent Seven
Rock The Casbah
This Is Radio Clash
Should I Stay Or Should I Go
Straight To Hell
Armagideon Time
Clampdown
Train In Vain
Guns Of Brixton
I Fought The Law
Somebody Got Murdered
Lost In The Supermarket
Bank Robber
(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais
London’s Burning
Janie Jones
Tommy Gun
Complete Control
Capitol Radio
White Riot
Career Opportunities
Clash City Rockers
Safe European Home
Stay Free
London Calling
Spanish Bombs
English Civil War
Police & Thieves

Seems I’ve just listed the tracks from ‘The Story of The Clash’, but to be honest any of those could be the best, can’t pick one above the others….

Death or Glory has to be up there, of only for the nuns/church line.

Can’t believe no one’s mentioned Death is a Star……
‘Makes a grown man cry like a girl, to see the Guns dying at sunset……’

A toss up between White Man & Complete Control.

Tommy Gun or Safe European Home for me.

White man for me, as it was about the first time i saw them live. Had to skive off school to make sure i had it the moment it came in through the record shop door.

I wonder if the actual answer to this thread is the same answer that Desmond llewellyn (Q) used to give when asked: Who was the best Bond?
His answer was: the first one you saw.

Therefore my favourite Clash song must be White Riot.

1977 or Capital Radio or Pressure Drop

My one attempt at downloading songs illegally; I chose what I thought was one Clash track, and a number of hours later had every song they had released.

I felt so guilty that I never downloaded anything else.

Rudy can’t fail.

Best line……………..

1. King Solomon never lived round here

(Is that HMG in one sentence or what?)

2. Where is magnificence?
They said it was out here somewhere
out on this road.

(Ain’t that life?)
