I hope you continue down this clash road. If you ever get sick of listening to "London Calling" (I can't see why you would) I'd suggest listening to

"Give em enough rope"

After you have listened to all the clash albums (including Cut the Crap! Even if you don't like it)

Listen to Big Audio Dynamite and Joe Strummer and the mescaleros

I know it's their biggest hit, but Rush is about as perfect a pop-song as there is, imo. I love it:

As for Joe and the Mescaleros, I've always loved Bhindi Bhagee, here is a great live version of it. Joe was the best. THE BEST:

Joe strummer basically giving you a tour via food through his stomping grounds. Pretty cool track.

I _WAS_ going to post rush, I was hoping someone else would!

About Joe, I agree, I know that The Clash were a huge band, but I still feel like Joe doesn't get the mainstream credit he deserves.
