    YES YES YES!!!!! This album means so much to me. I was coming off a drug addiction just turning 18, and after just started driving. I was kind of into music, but was trying to listen to more music and diversify my tastes. My dad and I didn't have the closest relationship, but we were working on it and it was getting better. I remember when he gave me the CD to play in my car, and while it took awhile, it just kept growing on me. It was one of the first albums I really listened to whole. We really bonded over it and it started my love for music and collecting music. Not to mention, I just broke up with my girlfriend at the time, and Train in Vain basically captured all I felt in a much needed upbeat way

    "Pub-rock roots" ??? Whaaaaat? The Clash were NEVER a pub rock band. Listen to genuine pub rock bands like Kilburn & The High Roads (who morphed into Ian Dury & The Blockheads) or Brinsley Schwarz (Nick Lowe's original band) and then compare with the Clash's first album. Not remotely similar.True, Strummer's first band The 101's were pretty pub-rock, but Mick Jones was always more into what we now call "classic rock".
