Best song by The Clash

[Peteinblack]

Tough call

'Complete Control', but with 'White Man in Hammersmith Palais' a close second

Oh, and best Clash cover version? 'Pressure Drop' (B-side to 'English Civil War')

 

[Simgull]

Live- Safe European Home, on record - Straight to Hell

 

[studio150]

If we are now including best cover by the Clash then 'Armagideon Time'

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Best cover? Police and Thieves.

EDIT: And Police on my Back.

 

[Tarpon]

Today it is Gates of the West. Brings a tear to my eye.

That is an extremely good call, and is often my favourite. Little Richard's in the kitchen, playing spoons and plates - he's telling the waitress she's great!

 

[atfc village]

Call Up for me.

 

[1234andcounting]

Spanish Bombs, I think. But reading this I could be persuaded otherwise.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

One more time / one more dub - the ones I play most these days

 

[The Auditor]

Complete Control. Obv.

For me ...This without doubt ... followed by Safe European Home

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Bankrobber for me.

I'm amazed no body has mentioned it. Perhaps it's too cliche so we're all avoiding it like the plague but I'll say it;

London Calling.

This thread has inspired the to buy the story of the Clash for £2.45 including postage off eBay. I don't currently have a single Clash song on my Ipod, although I know and like quite a few mentioned on here.

 

[super-seagulls]

This is my favourite!

 

[BN9 BHA]

White Man in the Hammersmith Palais is my all time favourite.
Police & Thieves
Complete Control

 

[happypig]

All of 'em. Every single one. Absolutely magnificent band and untouchable in thier heyday

 

[Pogue Mahone]

All of 'em. Every single one. Absolutely magnificent band and untouchable in thier heyday

Well, yes. Fair enough, really.

 

[Superphil]

White Man in Hammersmith Palais gets my vote every time
