I heard my dad listening to this track when i was 14 and it was the first time i got to listen to The Clash. When i asked him what is he listening to his answer was one of the greatest albums of all time. Up to this day one of my favorite bands of all time and yes,THANK YOU DAD. Greetings from Serbia

so agree with this. If you ask me, his offbeats on the intro set the energy for the entire song. The way they continue throughout is pure brilliance

My stock line was always that The Clash could never do anything but make you feel good. Now I'm getting older (mid 50s) I've got to revise that opinion: listening to this tonight has only evoked melancholy for my youth and the era in which this glorious album appeared in the record racks. As Strummer says though, "It's just the beat of time and the beat that must go on". It happens to us all in the end....... If we're lucky!

You put how I feel at 53 so perfectly. It's a bit of a cliche, but wasn't that a fucking great time to be alive? So many memories just rush in and it's both magic and sad. Sometimes I get angry that it wasn't a bigger deal when he died (well, perhaps to us). I get that wouldn't have really accomplished anything in the long run, but it felt like he never got his due.

49 signing in here. I got into the Sex Pistols along with Slayer and Metallica. But since Johnny Rotten said they were supposedly poseurs--I avoided them till 1999. Got the US version of the debut album. Having already dug The Pixies, Pavement--having grown up a The Beatles fan in the early '80s...I was completely BLOWN AWAY by the debut at 26yrs old. (Bought it for $2 at a used CD/tape/record store). "London Calling" was even better. That crazy triple-record "Sandinista" was creative musical/rock-n-roll history. (Maybe their best! Rock NEEDED these guys as we were moving from the 70s to the 80s)

1st heard this track used in the Jackass TV series when i was a kid... like many clash tracks i heard over time, it wasn't til i got a little older i gave them a listen and been one of my favourites ever since.

My friend recommended a bunch of their songs and I became a fan was a teen. This song specific even spired one of my story writings

From London Calling, the first Clash album I bought, must be 1980. My friend had the first album from 1977 which was groundbreaking as well. LC was double album stuffed in single sleeve, cover evokes early Elvis Presley album cover. The Clash evolved so quickly, so many musical genres on one record. Its kind of like an encyclopedia of rock music similar to Beatles 'white album', Exile on Main Steet or Blonde on Blonde My favorite song varies with each listen. Strongly recommended!

Spot-on. 2:40 in this track is the sound of a band who are so completely on top of it that they realise they can do anything. One of those moments when pop music takes you to a different place. In terms of bands who actually 'matter', I'll throw in The Beatles, The Velvet Underground and probably The Stone Roses. But The Clash will still top the list, every time.

@@Bandstand I kinda know what you mean there. Growing up as a kid I always heard of the Clash as sort of the holy grail of punk bands. Then I got London Calling and it didn't seem very punk to me at all.. I was like "this isn't the punk I know". I was most used to listening to bands like Sex Pistols, Stiff Little Fingers and so on. SLF is my favourite punk band of all time. But when it comes to the Clash. I really only call their first album punk.. or at least what punk is to me. Even on the second album there are hints of what is to come and a softening of their sound. But on London Calling, it's cranked up to eleven, it's clear they were exploring and experimenting with many, many musical genres.. I hear everything from ska, rockabilly, r&b, pop, jazz, hard rock on tracks on London Calling.. sure, there's some punk DNA in there too but it's really a very diverse, mixup of an album.. even from song to song. I don't mean in any way that in a bad way.. don't get me wrong. It's a great album, just not what I'd call punk. Genre wise, I'm not sure what I'd brand it.. post punk/new wave maybe. It's just London Calling.. it's maybe beyond labels.
