I think Overpowered By Funk would be my favorite on it. Ghetto Defendant did get me into Ginsberg and the Beats.

Combat Rock is all kinds of awesome because it has Straight To Hell on it. The Clash's best song IMO.
I love Sandinista but rarely get all way through it. Ivan Meets G.I Joe has to be my favourite from that album with Hateful off London Calling the fave there.
No matter what the debate regarding the best Clash album, a fan made Best of Compilation beats 90% of Rock/Punk bands hands down if it ever came to light.
New Order's Retro 5 disc set from a few years back had a fan's disc, live disc, Pop disc, club disc and a bonus disc of rare stuff. A Clash set similar would be something I would definitely buy. There is enough material out there to warrant a fresh take on the band.
