Lineker's Left Foot Posted 26 February 2007 Posted 26 February 2007 What do people prefer if you love The Clash ?? Do you like early punk stuff like White Man in Hammersmith Palais, White Riot or London's Burning OR the later/experimental stuff like Guns of Brixton (best bassline ever), Straight To Hell or Rock The Casbah?? I personally prefer their later stuff (i.e. stuff on CD2 from Best Of..)
Cat Burger Posted 26 February 2007 Posted 26 February 2007 Early please, I don't like their later stuff although I commend them for trying new things. Joe Strummer and the mescaleros were a good band so it's not like strummer went senile or owt but combat rock is a piece of shit.
Daggers Posted 26 February 2007 Posted 26 February 2007 All Clash is good...apart from the self-indulgent tosh on most of Sandanista...but even then, it's cool self-indulgent tosh. Ah, apart from 'Cut The Crap'...that was REALLY crap.

Although I can understand people hating RTC and SISOSIG tracks cos they were more poppy !!!
stez Posted 27 February 2007 Posted 27 February 2007 weirdly, as i read this thread the clash is being played in the caff in eastenders anyway, where's the non option!

Deathside Posted 28 February 2007 Posted 28 February 2007 For me there's not much after the first album that cuts the mustard - Although Guns Of Brixton does stand out (Guns of Brixton is ranked as my equal 103rd most played track on last.fm)

Jay Posted 1 March 2007 Posted 1 March 2007 first three albums are great last three not so great everything after London Calling is pretty poor imo especially the 2 of the most famous in Rock the Casbah and should I stay or... which happen to probably be in my top 3 worst clash songs only beaten by Hitsville UK which is a terrible terrible song imo
Ultra Posted 2 March 2007 Posted 2 March 2007 First two albums were quality, but they lost the plot a little after that and went REALLY downhill after Mick Jones left.
Unit Posted 3 March 2007 Posted 3 March 2007 best clash song - white man in hammersmith palais, by a long way.
Chairman of the Bored Posted 5 March 2007 Posted 5 March 2007 Early. White Riot tour the greatest ever live gig I have seen.
Head Honcho Posted 5 March 2007 Posted 5 March 2007 Early. White Riot tour the greatest ever live gig I have seen. 13th May 77 I was there and have the CD, but I preferred the sixteen tons tour 3 years later
