Best Clash Album?

Unknown Soldier · 09-03-2009, 02:21 PM

Looking at the poll, its no surprise to see London Calling top and I voted for it as well. Some of my favourite Clash songs though, are on Sandinista and if Sandinista had been chopped down to a double it might well have topped London Calling.

The sad thing about the Clash, is how they finished..........Releasing Cut the Crap!!!

It's unintentionally funny. But it only has one decent song in it, really: "This is England".

Don't spend money on it however. Not worth it at all.

I listened to it several years ago and approached it objectively after reading how bad it was, Basically its total crap. I once read that Joe Strummer apologized to the rest of the band (the originals had already left long before) for making such a bad record and involving them in it.

At least he apologized.

You`ve heard how bad it is, if I was in your position I would have to hear how bad it is for myself.

In fact I can`t think of any album, of hand, by a group of the calibre of Clash that is as bad as this.

Wasn't Paul Simonon on Cut the Crap?

Wow. Now I'm definitely getting it.

I googled it and he did bass on only one song.
