Great is an understatement for London Calling. You have to read some pretentious 95+ point wine reviews for proper descriptions for this "enticingly layered and focused masterpiece, it's velvety rich texture is both nuanced and pronounced mouth feel, a chocolate silky finish provides the palette with a euphoric experience" |

At the height of their popularity, they demonstrated that they were as adaptive and perhaps as inventive as some of the great ones—the Beatles come to mind.

Brings back memories of my brother, at dusk, sitting in living room listening to this.
Thanks for turning me on to the Clash bro!

Great song from maybe the greatest (and most diverse) rock album of all time.

My first thought on hearing this was 'this is The Clash???' ... clearly I've underestimated the range of their music. I'll have to investigate further.
Thanks again Bill for broadening my musical awareness.

Most certainly they are "PUNK", but like any other great musical talents/musicians/bands, they evolve, they appreciated the variety of music that was out there. check out their earlier work. neuticle wrote: In My mind ( scary place that it is) they were almost the ultimate "Punk" band...not limited to any one musical style. Punk to me was about being open minded, not a musical genre

Check out early Clash songs like "White Riot" or "Janie Jones." Shimmer wrote:I've heard a lot of The Clash over the years, but I've never understood how they got categorized as a "punk" band. Do they have any actual punk songs? |

This almost has a Grateful Dead-ish feel to it. Not bad.
