I've been on that path, as well - I'm up to a 9 now and just have to jump up and boogey down every time this one comes along.
I do love the old Clash favorites, but hadn't sampled much of Joe's later works, so (for me at least) this is still deliciously fresh.

Agreed. Global a Go Go is more consistent, even if the songs don't attain the heights of this one. |

True. I like to think it would've been better (up to "Global A-Go-Go" standards) if he had actually lived to finish it. :( |

Hey, hold on a second there, Darkmatter. Though this stuff with the Mescaleros sounds pretty good, I wouldn't put it up there with the best Clash stuff. Those first three albums by the Clash (The Clash, Give 'em Enough Rope, London Calling) had some all-time greats!
Maybe you should dust off the old turntable, break out the old vinyl and take another listen. Perhaps you have forgotten just how great they were back then.
yeah... but this is a pretty awesome song you gotta admit. I don't rate too many songs a 10, this is one of the few

The Redemption Song is Joe's half of a duet with Johnny Cash -- their duet is on the 5 CD JC retrospective...have you heard it? |

The opening three songs on "Streetcore" is amazing, really blows me away. Coma Girl, Get Down Moses, Long Shadow... amazing stuff.
The world is definitely a more dull and boring place without Joe Strummer's pounding rock'n'roll heart around. :(
I know, I keep wishing I could see this song performed live, but alas.  |

Saw the Clash in an amphitheater outside of Santa Barbara, where I was visiting to attend a wedding. Beautiful setting, near Reagan's ranch. Sort of a surreal setting for the Clash. People in California did not seem that Clash-oriented. I asked one person after the show how she had liked it. She demurred. Then she conceded that she did not like it that much because they never smiled. I said, "Yeah, they don't smile much."
They may not smile much, but they sure did rock!!!!!!!!! I saw them during my college days. I was in the third row and they were great. |

Is there any way we can mix it up a bit more????
Well Peter, apparently not. I like all these songs but agree that the overplay, especially in combo is wearing them out. Bill -- give this trio a rest . . . or at least go with Marley/Strummer/Spearhead next time.
