More than "Should I Stay or Should I Go"? I hear that on on oldies (i.e., 80's) radio stations on a fairly consistent basis.

All good, I play more soundtracks than videogames, Vice City and GTA V also my favorites

Their first two albums are archetypal punk rock. Third album is a crossover masterpiece. Sandinista divides the fanbase. Then they mailed in Combat Rock. The ouster of Mick Jones (who sang/wrote Train In Vain, Should I Stay Or Should I Go?) had the effect of turning their music to shit. So if you like Train In Vain, you should really listen to Big Audio Dynamite, because that's what Jones did next.

For a period in the late 70s - early 80s they were “the only band that mattered”

You've just discovered perfect British punk.

Sampled on Garbage Stupid Girl

Respect for that

A perfectly flawless album, I can leave it on, and never feel like skipping to another song.

Topper Headon says “WHAT?”

I'm curious your background then as you are clearly interested enough to post to /music but never heard of a band that would reliably be placed in top 20 UK bands of all time and have an album that Rolling Stone listed as the best of the 80s.

Do you just have a punk blindspot? If so, say and I am 100% sure you will quickly get 10 further bands and albums you should check out.

Have you heard the Pulse version of Comfortably Numb?

Yes but if you decide on taking on the entire discography just make sure you don't go further than Combat Rock hehe

I really enjoy combat rock, IMO from atom tan to the end it is great. Varied sounds, lotta neat stuff.

I guess I see your logic, I should've specifically said licensed SONGS in the original post to be more clear.

"Keine Lust" - Rammstein. It means "No Interest".

I agree with you 100% on all of those points!

I hear that!

R.I.P. Joe Strummer.

One of the best albums of all time imo.

Nine Inch Nails - Every Day Is Exactly The Same

Persona 4, Total Annihilation, Fallout New Vegas

Definitely GTA V. I've been playing a lot of GTA IV lately and aside from a few songs, the licensed music just doesn't hit the same way. GTA V's radios are perfect.

London Calling is the greatest album of all time. That is a hill I will die on.

First three albums are incredible. I'd treat Sandanista with care. There's some diamonds there but bloody hell it needed some editing.

They hire composers and the music is Nintendo licensed, you get copyright notice using song/sample/instrument version. I'm a musician and Nintendo sheet music is very popular
