It does'nt suprise me one bit that Strummer disliked 'White Riot'. I've heard artists comment negatively about some of their own material on countless occasions. Paul Weller once stated that some of the earlier songs he wrote for The Jam were an embaressment to him and regretted ever having wrote them at all.
Whatever Strummers reasons were (embaressment/sick of hearing or peforming it/or just grew to hate it) it still remains for many fans... a firm Clash favourite.
Should I Stay Or Should I Go...has to be one of the best intro's ever...
