London Calling is CLASSIC. Without a doubt their best.
Sandinista would have been a magnificent single album.
Cut the Crap is crap. They replaced Jones with two guitarists and it was still weak and awful.
I had tickets for all 8 original shows at Bonds Casino in NYC.
Opening night they overpacked the place by double and when I left (I was upfront and it took a while) there were fire marshalls at each door counting heads. They had to double the amount of shows or cancel the remaining shows.
I saw 8 of the 16 shows. All were MAGNIFICENT.
Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five were the first opening act opening night, and they were booed off stage. My friend was drinking a bottle of pre-mixed vodka/orange juice. When he was done, I told him to throw the bottle at the band, which he did. Grandmaster stopped and they started yelling that The Clash asked them to perform... The audience just booed them off the stage. They really sucked. I saw them a few times after that, and they always sucked. But, The Message in my opinion is the best rap song ever.
