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
The Clash is my all time favorite band. I saw them 12 times & met Joe once. Thanks! Great video!

My favorite album of all time
all-time favorite album. thanks for this! Do Exile on Main Street next!
One of the greats there is no doubt. I still listen to strummer and I listen to what was before and what came after
I didn't liked the album when i first heard it years ago. But after hearing the debut, and having some context, it may be worth a second time...
I wish this video was longer, one of my top 5 favourite albums ever
honestly it's impossible to find someone who doesn't like this album. one of the most beloved ever
Hell yeah, I don't know anyone who doesn't like this album in some capacity. It's pretty much a universal classic
One of the top 5 albums ever recorded. Brilliant.
Such a good album... My favourite group of the 70s. Even the filler tracks like "The Card Cheat" and "I'm Not Down" are terrific.

I’m Not Down as filler?!!!
Machine Gun Etiquette, another post punk masterpiece, was recorded at the same time, in the same studio. The Dammned and the Clash even do back up vocals on each other's albums.
been waiting for this one. an all time favourite LP.
JUST LISTEN TO THE WHOLE ALBUM!!! ITS INCREDIBLE
One of my favorite albums with one of my favorite main single by my favorite punk band, with a one of my favorite cover that had one of my favorite rock photograph and one of my favorite reference to another rock artist. FUCKING CLASSIC
Time for some Neil Young

Simonon is pronounced like 'cinnamon'. Otherwise, good.
I like they put black Caribbean influences in this classic album 2:14 Then a second song also heavily reggae influenced just amazing 3:17
OH SWEET LORD THANK YOU!
Nice little video. Especially the points you make about how they differed from the Pistols. P.S. you're pronouncing Simonon wrong...... P.S. - Paul Simonon haha
my favorite postpunk album
The Beatles are the greatest band of all time but London calling is the greatest album to have ever been conceived by man
You should do Bryter Layter!
My favorite part: That bass at the start of Train in Vain. ''Ptong ting ptong ting pitong''
Ahhhhhhhhhh love THE CLASH!!
Top 10 great studio album in music history
You guys should also do these albums! Let it Be: The Replacements Murmur or Automatic for the People: REM My War: Black Flag Parklife or Blur: Blur Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Californiacation, or Stadium Arcadium: Red Hot Chili Peppers Never Mind the Bullocks: Sex Pistols Bringing it all Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, or Blonde on Blonde: Bob Dylan Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, OR the White Album: the Beatles [ or all of them ;) ] All things must pass: George Harrison Unknown Pleasures: Joy Division The Stooges: The Stooges Kick out the Jams!: The MC5
Please please PLEASE do Black Flag's Nervous Breakdown!!!! Fear of Music/Remain in Light by Talking Heads, please? do The Glow PT 2!

The only band that matters
I came here for a special offer. Top (5) album The horns sound incredible on it.
can you please do Funhouse(by the stooges) or the idiot (by iggy pop)?
U guys should do a brief history of punk music
Please make "Meds" Or "Black Market Music" of placebo
YES THANK YOU
Thanx for telling this to the young generation!
Randy Newman's 12 Songs, Nilsson Schmilsson, XTC's Drums and Wires/Black Sea/Skylarking. Kink's Muswell Hillbillies or Village Green would all be good candidates
Do Remain in Light next!
Next one has to be In the Aeroplane over the sea.
ahhh what a love
The greatest double album of all time.
Listen to the drums. They’re actually very complex!!! Not just basic 4/4 rock beats.
Finally!

Revolution Rock is the best track on this record

God, your pronunciation of Simonon genuinely upsets me
Yo
"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".
Compared to Exile on Mn Street?, that's an insult to London Calling
Well The Clash is the Only Band thats Matters
