Best song by The Clash

[El Presidente]

This is a very very tough call.

I am presently minded to go for TOMMY GUN though.

 

[Stat Brother]

This is never tough.



Second best song by The Clash is virtually impossible.

 

[Southy]

Quite simply not only the best song by the Clash but the best song ever written https://youtu.be/96UtZPLiT90

 

[studio150]

Tough call. I'm currently in a late period mood so 'Ghetto Defendant'

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Stay Free.

 

[neilbard]

Impossible to pick one there all f**cking magnificent!

 

[Seagull58]

This is a very very tough call.

I am presently minded to go for TOMMY GUN though.

Tommy Gun for me too fantastic intro to kick it off and the energy level is early Clash at their finest. However, I am going to have White man in Hammersmith Palais at my funeral. My sister went to school with John Mellor aka Joe Strummer.

 

[Flex Your Head]

Complete Control. Obv.

 

[ExmouthExile]

Complete Control

 

[Papak]

This is England.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Best Clash original - Complete Control
Best Clash cover - Police And Thieves

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Bank robber

 

[Crispy Ambulance]

Impossible to limit to just one.

Top 5 in no particular order:

Stay Free
Complete Control
Safe European Home
Bankrobber
Police on my back

 

[Mr Bridger]

Tough one again

 

[attila]

WMIHP. Best song ever written. Agree with Mr North.

 

[Mowgli37]

Is it even possible to answer that question?!

From their magnum opus London Calling, this is a personal favourite:

 

[Stat Brother]

Is it even possible to answer that question?!

Having answered the question, I'm yet to see a reply that isn't the second best Clash song.

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

1 Complete Control
2 White Riot
3 London's Burning

 

[rudolf hucker]

So many great songs to pick from. I always enjoy Bank Robber and often find myself singing it to myself so I guess it has to get my vote.

 

[Saint Lennard]

Have to say that I have given up answering this as it changes all the time for me. Sometimes it's linked to a specific memory or meaning; another it is the words; another it is the tune; another is who it is sung by; and so on. I have some personal favourites but to say one of them is the best would devalue such a terrific wide ranging back catalogue.
