Probably a tie between "White Man in Hammersmith Palais" and "Train In Vain". Fave solo Joe Strummer: tie between "Johnny Appleseed" and "From Willesden to Cricklewood". | ||

That's hardun...perhaps a tie between the original "Career Opportunities" and the version with the kids singing lead. | ||

For me it's a three-way tie between Guns of Brixton, Lost in the Supermarket, and Ghetto Defendant. | ||

I was going to say London Calling but Lost in The Supermarket swings it, close call with Career Opportunities,Stay Free and Amaggideon Time, there are so many | ||

Can't possibly answer this one, as it would be too unjust to too much of their greatness. | ||

Spence makes a great point. There's no way I could list just one. Never the less, replace Supermarket with Spanish Bombs on my list, and there you have it. | ||

I'll go with one from each of the albums: Career Opportunities from The Clash All The Young Punks from Give 'Em Enough Rope Lost In The Supermarket from London Calling The Magnificent Seven from Sandinista! Straight To Hell from Combat Rock | ||

(White Man) in Hammersmith Palais Everything great about the Clash packed into four minutes--the punk, the rock, the reggae, the guitars, the brains, the harmonies, etc. | ||

The Clash - Rock The Casbah and Straight To Hell (I prefer the full version from On Broadway) Joe Strummer - From Willesden To Cricklewood | ||

You nailed it Dr G, my fave too. Your description (punk, rock, reggae, guitars, brains, harmonies) perfect desciption of Clash legacy. |
