Kid Charlemagne - Steely Dan's Royal Scam

 

[ozzygull]

From “Selling England by the Pound” seems remarkably appropriate at the moment.

Give em enough rope- Safe European home

Definitely a good track but Police & Thieves is my favourite

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

Definitely a good track but Police & Thieves is my favourite

interesting,never really thought about my favourite track on the album

probably because my favourite Clash tracks are White Man and Complete Control

if pushed probably go for London's Burning

Although we all know that it is, let's for a moment pretend that it's not 'Wouldn't it Be Nice', just to make it interesting. Here are a couple that are fantastic:

Age Of Consent - Power, Corruption & Lies - New Order
Disorder - Unknown Pleasures - Joy Division
Dreaming - Eat To The Beat - Blondie

 

[Icy Gull]

Opening track from arguably the best album of 1979 (just imo obviously). The album starts with the acoustic version and finishes with the very punk influenced and distorted electric version of the same song. Young at his peak.
