Give him the benefit of the doubt - I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic

Live at Shea stadium, an I think the other one is called from here to eternity.
For me its a tie between the s/t and Give em, so I voted Give em cus of how few votes it had.

London Calling for me. Out of all the Comps not listed in the original poll, Super Black Market Clash is possibly my favorite for it has many under-rated tracks and a wide diversity.

A close second in the poll clearly is the Debut.

Personal opinion - Cutting the crap from Cut the Crap = an album with only one blinding great A-Side, "This is England" and nothing else. I can understand why the album is shoved out of view for to me it's clearly the work of a musician trying to create something out of a dire situation and an Manager getting into the show resulting in something that's on a level of leaving with a whimper.

Actually, someone should have tried to get the "New Look" Clash into doing an album based on their head-turning but actually slightly successful "Busking" tour. Now THAT would have been very interesting, but now it's filed under lost opportunities in my view. Still, there are some defenders of Cut the Crap, but when I heard it, it was the sound of something not going well.

"London Calling" all the way. "The Clash" and "Give 'Em Enough Rope" tie for second....

Sandinista- because of Hitsville U.K,Somebody got Murdered,The Call Up among others
I dont think Give em Enough gets enough credit(I prefer it to the Clash)but Sandinista is my favourite

"Sandinista!" belongs on the bottom of my list, not because it's a bad album but because "London Calling" and "Give 'em Enough Rope" were nearly flawless.
