There are so many classics my choice changes constantly (IMHO they are the best band ever!) but if I had to vote today it is Train in Vain

Train in vain, or (ducks) lost in the supermarket. Then again, I fought the law always does it for me. Thought they lost their way with most of sandinista though.

Thats got to be the toughest question ever asked on a forum.. Screw what tyres for abseiling or some otther sh1t..

London Calling? Jimmy Jazz? Revolution Rock? **** why not the whole of London Calling.. Or what about Armagideon Time or Straight to Hell?

But Im going for this 'cos it just plain rocks..

Interrupting all programs..

Way too hard a question.

"Stay Free" and "Train in Vain" are such beautifully crafted songs.

But "London Calling" and "Guns of Brixton" are just so powerful.

If I had to choose just one, it would probably be Stay Free.

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 ****in 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

I've no idea why this was my favourite, nobody else ever suggests it so I guess it didn't strike a cord for many others (note: not had ^ a mention , as per usual), but I played it (and the album) constantly as a teenager. I don't think there is one duff track on that album.

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