Todd In The Shadows uploaded a great review video for Cut The Crap for his Trainwreckords series on Youtube

The Only Band That Matters.

Clash came along shortly after the sex pistols . . . 70s was the beginning of punk & these guys were a big part of that before they hit the bigtime.

They had another hit "The Globe" which sampled "Should I Stay Or Should I Go"

Easier to look the part with long hair...

There are a lot of balding rock stars holding onto their long hair. And fans incessantly troll them.

Looks matter.

I saw the Clash at the LA coliseum. And I'm not talking about NASCAR. They opened for The Who, and they were awesome, and train in vain was just the pop stuff that was OK. We were more into the Ska stuff like Rudy Can't fail & stuff.

I didn’t know Big Audio Dynamite was related to the Clash. So it’s intentional that their song “Rush” sounds like this one.

It’s a great time. Very catch

Pretty sure Rock the Casbah was their biggest hit. The video was a big reason, early MTV, good song, interesting video = lots of airplay and attention

So many....

• Pernice Brothers - basically any of their songs e.g. Chicken Wire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3TuYBy6G1M
• Ger Lane - A Much Deeper Sigh https://gerlane.bandcamp.com/track/a-much-deeper-sigh
• Derek Corr - Exit Dark Enter Life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZty45tqJuM
• Sophia - again so many of their songs would fit this e.g. Directionless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8xQ7mAJ4-E

Lost In the Supermarket is the story of my life.

The Carpenters “Rainy Days and Mondays”

You kidding!?!? You never heard of The Clash?? Listen to: “Should I stay or should I go?” “Rock the casbah”

"Should I Stay or should I GO" IS the first song I learned on guitar. Their whole catalogue should be celebrated except for "Cut the crap"

I only knew the title track & guns of brixton when I first listened to the whole album front to back and I still remember how much I enjoyed that experience!

I was hooked from tracks 1-12 but still feel the second half trails off a bit before ending on a high point.

White Man (In Hammersmith Palais) is about Joe’s first exposure to a reggae show and name-checks Delroy Wilson among others. It’s a hybrid track of reggae dubs with that punk snarl. An anthem of anti racism.

Also true

I’m wearing that shirt as we speak, just saying. It’s one of my favorites in my collection.

The Only Band That Matters

If only our bodies were, lol.

So glad he recovered.

Both of those are far more "commercial" and more well-known. I've never heard "Train In Vain" on an 'oldies' station.

Tis true, can relate as 59 yr old

Great music is timeless.

More than 'Rock the Casbah'?
