The Clash's album, "London Calling" is the greatest album ever!

Discuss...

And that in a nutshell is the Clash's music. London Calling, HANG UP I DON'T WANT ME NONE OF THE BLOODY GARBAGE

:thumbsup:

I know it's sacrilige, but I was never the biggest Clash fan; my choices would have to be a tie between



and

my cred is in the toilet:)

:)

I just played "Walkin' The Floor Over You" to get my cred back!:)

you are eerily well-rounded with your music. Sorta like me. I'm liable to go back to back to back with the most totally different types of music you could imagine. I was even listening to some classical stuff today. George Gershwin "Rhapsody In Blue." :)

is classical; Mrs E. loves it, but I've never been able to fully embrace it as it doesn't move me like other genres of music. I know it'll be a matter of time, but I'm still looking..

I can't get into it too much, however when I write it's cool to put on the headphones and listen to it. It's easy listening stuff, so it doesn't must with my game too much when I'm trying to concentrate.

Greatest? Maybe for a given 75 minutes.

so I would disagree. :)

that's good. :)

But, I was listening to London Calling on the way to work so thought I would throw that out there.

as you know:)

I can't listen to "Shakin' Through" without having a big smile on my face; it's the sound of pure joy...

on an airplane. Even together would be a better combination. Remember, acid makes the mind go round, just like crappy old albums.

:grr:

When the door shuts
Don’t worry about me
Its not attention that I want from you
I need you to trust who I’m gonna be
And in everything I’m going to do

Cause I’m not afraid
Of what I don’t know
For understanding is all that I earn
What is for sure is I’m gonna to go
I’m gonna to live and I’m going to learn

And I know there will be mistakes that I will make
But I know they’re not worse than chances I don’t take, take
Right before your eyes I am changing, changing
New life on the inside I am changing, changing

When the door shuts
Its shuts in front of me
A new person that I have become
I follow my heart to my destiny
But living in fear and sorrow is done

There will be no more feeling that I’m all alone
I will surround myself with things that help me grow, grow
Right before your eyes I am changing, changing
New life on the inside I am changing, changing

Right before your eyes I am changing, changing
New life on the inside I am changing, changing
Right before your eyes I am changing, changing
New life on the inside I am changing, changing

Right before your eyes
Right before your eyes

Plug that in as today's earworm.

Well I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind
I left my body lyin somewhere in the sence of time
But I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon
I feel there's nothing I can do
yea
I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be something to do with you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end
If I go crazy then will you still call me superman
If I'm alive then will you be there to hold my hand
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Kryptonite
You call me strong, you call me weak but still your secrets I will keep
You took for granite all the times I never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head, If not for me then you'd be dead
I'll get you up and put you back on solid ground
If I go crazy then will you still call me superman
If I'm alive then will you be there holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Kryptonite

Did you just compare The Clash to Hoobastank and 3 Doors Down?

And besides, both 3 Doors Down and Hoobastank have more piercings and tattoos.

Hoobastank?? WTF is a Hoobastank??

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I feel old.

along with the Sex-Pistols.

You want real bands try: The Damned, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Ian Dury & the Blockheads, Talking Heads, The Ramones.

Didn't the Clash blow every DJ in America to get played?

You who speak to me across the fence
Of common sense
How your tomato plant will win a prize,
won't that be nice,
And by the way, how's your wife?
Your holidays were spent in Spain
You went by train
You'll go again

Have you seen me bullfight poster on the wall?
Do you know the appy memory it recalls?
Here's a photograph of me and my son, Ted
That's me cousin with his hanky on his head!
We booked in at our otel just after two
And met a family from Bradford that we knew

Oooh, a melody! Burp!

My pink half of the drainpipe
Separates next door from me
My pink half of the drainpipe
Oh, Mama!
Belongs to me

Rodney's vain saxaphone solo, as promised

My pink half of the drainpipe
Semi-detach-ed, ah!
My pink half of the drainpipe
Oh, Mama!
Belongs to moi

I have a sister in Toronto who's a nurse
And I've had a bit of bother laying turf
It's life, not books, that taught me all I've learned
Woop, in the b'oven my rice pudding's getting burned!
Ere, have you seen the new attachment on me drill?
I must have the cat put down, cause he's ill

Hey, neighbour!

My pink half of the drainpipe
I may paint it blue
My pink half of the drainpipe
Keeps me safe from
you!

I'm a wobbly jelly, you're a pink blancmange
I'm a sherry trifle, you're a chocolate sponge
Your dad wears a paper hat, mine inflates balloons
Whoops! Boodly boop! Pop! Here comes a spoon!

My pink half of the drainpipe
Separates me from the incredibly fascinating story of your life and
every day to day event in all it's minute and

I don't put them in the same league as The Clash, but that's just me. :headbang:

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Sir Elton John
Avalon - Roxy Music Club
Luck Of The Draw & Nick Of Time - Bonnie Raitt
The Wall & Darkside Of The Moon - Pink Floyd

among others. What qualifies an album to be "the greatest?"

get the discussion going.

If you don't mind.
