I'm downloading the mix - I've got some Clash stuff and have tried really hard to make myself get into them, but it's never worked for me. Maybe I just haven't heard the right song yet.

[sullen_hearts]

They're one of my favourite bands ever ever, and they influenced three of my favourite bands so much too (the Libs, the Manics and Rancid). I love them and am very willing to give you a track by track rundown ;)

[dachelle]

I knew they were a big influence on the Libs, and that's why I started listening to them in the first place - I hadn't heard most of the bands that influenced the Libs, the Clash included. I don't hate them or anything, I've just never fallen in love with the music. I'd say London Calling is probably my favorite of the ones I know. I'll keep trying!

[sullen_hearts]

That's fair enough. My favourites, for your reference, are Lost In The Supermarket, Death or Glory, Guns of Brixton, This Is Radio Clash and Police On My Back. Probably.

I love Bankrobber. I really need to find myself that song, since I seem to have mislaid it.... x x

Bankrobber ♥

Aw, you are really rather good! I am listening to all the Clash on my Macbook right now :D

[sullen_hearts]

I know, I'm awesome. I get like that sometimes, where nothing else will do except The Clash. One of the few bands Himself and I agree on, actually :D

(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais: one of only about twelve songs ever to have made me cry. Fact.

Hmm. Twelve sounds like a lot, doesn't it? I meant to make it sound special. The end of it especially, just sounds so haunting and profound when listened to late at night. Or it does to me anyway. - Two of the others (to have made me cry) are Joe's songs too, but with The Mescaleros, not The Clash. I could add one more of his too, but I can never remember whether it actually made me cry, or just nearly.

[sullen_hearts]

Wow, I don't think I've ever thought of songs that made me cry. A lot did this year. Comfortably Numb always gets me.
