Great song by the Clash

Sandinista.

I caught the first wave of punk in 77 and love it to this day. As for the Clash, their earliest stuff is still my favorite including the S/T LP and Give Them Enough Rope. The DKs version of IFTL is solid but I do like the Clash version better.

Love the Clash (and Zappa,etc.) I always loved Guns of Brixton. Such a catchy bass line. Now how about one of the most underrated bands of that era.. XTC :)

So many great songs by the Clash! Wanted to see them on their run on Broadway (Bonds) in 1981 but it was such a crazy scene that even as a 22-year old, decided not to go in!  Went to Bonds with a friend, was living in NYC and we both agreed that it was too crazy!  Oh well.  When they did their run at Bonds, I did see Strummer and Jones walking up Broadway, near Lincoln Center, clad in their black leather clothes.  I'll never forget it.  I did get to see them in 1982 at Pier 84, but the open venue didn’t do them justice.

I always though the Clash were so apt at identifying and clarifying social issues in a minimalist fashion. Much like Merle Haggard could do.
