I'm not sure any of their releases matched the brilliance of the Cost of Living EP. I Fought the Law (a cover) and Groovy Times were on there, and also these two gems:

Hammersmith Palais

or

Bankrobber

 

[Seagull58]

White Man (in Hammersmith Palais)

Seconded. My favourite song of all time. Tommy gun is not three bad though

 

[Seagull58]

London Calling - any other suggestion is merely somebody trying to be clever and showing off.

End of thread.

Bollocks

Seeing as there is not a lot of transfer activity ATM, and following on from the Jam thread.
As the thread says, pick ONE song.

I'll go with, White Riot.

For me it's got to be White Riot too - I distinctly remember going past Fine Records (later Rounder) in Brighton Square in early-April 1977where they would have all the picture sleeves of the latest singles displayed in the windows and seeing The Clash in their graffiti-laden boiler suits and just thought 'I've gotta have that' - from that moment on I gave up the fledgling soul-boy look and as a 16-year old was hooked on 'punk rock' and, without sounding cliched, it really was a life-changing moment! (Well that's how remember it anyway!!)!

God, I'd forgotten all about Gates of the West. Absolutely magnificent, sums up the spirit of what The Clash were.

I do have a weakness for Mick Jones' voice - a lot of my favourite tracks are where he is singing.

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

I'm a bit of a Big Audio Dynamite fan so I'm leaning towards the catchy Spanish Bombs
