EDITORS’ NOTES The Clash’s third album, 1979’s London Calling, is where their brilliance comes together in a 19-track tour de force that uses the energy of their punk origins and employs it in a number of new stylistic directions. Reggae-dub underlines “Rudie Can’t Fail,” “Wrong ‘Em Boyo,” “Revolution Rock,” and bassist Paul Simonon’s unnerving “The Guns of Brixton.” Rockabilly and surf chase the cover of Vince Taylor’s “Brand New Cadillac.” Genuine pop melodies support the Mick Jones-led “Spanish Bombs,” “Lost In the Supermarket,” “I’m Not Down,” and the hit-single-in-hiding “Train In Vain” (original copies of the album didn’t list it on the album sleeve). The title track remains one of the most ominous songs ever to kick off any album, never mind a double album of such consequence.

And we haven’t even mentioned the brilliance of “Hateful,” “Clampdown,” “Death or Glory” or “Koka Kola.” Their self-titled debut (in both U.K. Configurations) stood for punk’s raw power and Sandinista! Provided the band with enough room for pure experimentation, but London Calling splits the difference and aims for the center line. Usmle world step 1 qbank download pdf. Quite simply: a masterpiece by any definition.

Between 1998 and 2001 Joe Strummer hosted his London Calling radio show for the BBC spinning his favorites old and new. Strummer described his show as the following: ‘My pick of music for the show reflects the music that I listen to all year round. I am constantly trawling through music and I pick out the best for the show.’ Thanks to the you can now download the archives of Strummer’s London Calling in total.
