Is The Clash's "London Calling" a classic?

[Brooklyn329]

Drop knowledge my dudes, I'm thinking about getting into them.

[Edgecrusher]

Definitely. It's one of the best albums ever.

Where does it rank on your personal list?

I don't really have a list but I'd say it's somwhere in the top 100, out of the 1,000+ albums I own. The album cover is one of my favorites too.

Yeah that's a pretty intense album cover.

[The Amerikkkan Idol]

Yes, and "London Calling" & "Train In Vain" are two of the greatest songs ever.

[Dean Martin]

hell fukking yes it is

in my top 5, probably even in my top 3

Its not really a straight ahead punk record tho, that's the thing I realized the first time I heard it- there are a few faster paced songs (clampdown, the title track), but they delve into some rockabilly (brand new cadillac), reggae (wrong em boyo, guns of brixton), straight head rock and roll...

at first it may not grab you, but goddamn, when it does you realize how fukking good not only the record, but the Clash were.

[Bone Daddy]

Probably top 5 of all albums ever. It's basically the blueprint for all great rock since then(except metal, they don't do that).

[ALCHEMY]

Guns of Brixton!

[Mangle]

Yes, indeed it is.

[Paul]

Best ****ing album ever. 19 songs, and every one is killer.
