Same for me except switch around Give Em' enough Rope with The Clash.

First album and Give 'Em Enough Rope.

London Calling, hands down, followed by their debut.

I agree with the majority on this one: 'London Calling' by far.

My vote is for Combat Rock, because when you ask the average person to name a Clash song, they say either "Should I Stay Or Should I Go? or "Rock the Casbah"

London Calling is my favorite record of all time, and it's not even close. I bought London Calling when I was 14 years old after a store clerk told me that I wasn't old enough to buy New Found Glory's latest album. It fundamentally changed the way I listened to music. It exposed me to a whole new world of music I'd never paid attention to, and got me out of that all punk, all the time phase I spent all of middle school in (I still love punk, for the record, LC just taught me to love a lot more). Listening to that album is like visiting an old friend.

Apart from all the personal connections, it's miles ahead of their other work. Every single track is a unique exercise in excellence. The variety is all over the place, and the lyrics are as sharp as Strummer and company ever wrote. It's a rare feat; a double album without a bad song or an ounce of filler.

Nicely done. One of the greatest albums ever.
