your list is really interesting, and refreshingly different than what i'd expect from lists in a thread like this. most importantly, i wanted to quote this, because it's so friggin' true. White Man in Hammersmith Palais got a lot of blowjobs from the press for being the best Clash song ever (after the fact, of course), but for once, the press was right. this song blows my mind every time i hear it.
edit: not to mention, there's albums that i haven't checked out on this list, but definitely will.
