The Clash - London Calling

Who doesn't enjoy a good Clash song??
On this album alone there are so many good ones that a fella has a hard time not listening to them over and over again. This album was released in 79' in Britain, although it was released in 80' in the U.S.. Since I live in the commonwealth I will go with the 79' to make it an album of the 70's.
So the album has all the key themes in it for a steamy bowl of angst like unemployment, drug use, racial conflict, and becoming an adult.
By far my most favorite song on the album and arguably of all time is "The Guns Of Brixton" damn this is a fine song and.  I am a big Clash fan and in a previous post I talked about the "Give em enough album" and all the resources that you can watch to get an idea of the band and all they have done... Sure the stuff is about Joe Strummer, but it still gives you an idea of what they went through.
So enjoy this album like I do. 

Gotta go, I hear London calling.
