Re: The last time you heard CtC.
I think that memory has been erased...that was the last Clash album right? It's got a great single with the This is England, real toe tapper that one. Oh I'll have to give that album a try, can't believe I've never heard it, it's got to be great!

Probably 10 plus years? Every time I have a glimmer of hope that I have changed and my musical tastes will find something* to cling to but as soon as it starts my heart sinks.

Three Card Trick and North and South are probably as good as TiE.101Walterton wrote: ↑06 Aug 2017, 2:52pmProbably 10 plus years? Every time I have a glimmer of hope that I have changed and my musical tastes will find something* to cling to but as soon as it starts my heart sinks.

Re: The last time you heard CtC.
I pull the album out everyone someone tries to wrongly assert that TiE is the best cut on the record.

Re: The last time you heard CtC.
No disrespect to anyone who genuinely likes the song, but I don't get the love. I'll kinda sorta acknowledge it in a best-hockey-team-in-Alabama kind of way, but it's pretty plodding to my ears and, as I've carped about over and over thru the years, the line "and this is how we feel" is awful.101Walterton wrote: ↑06 Aug 2017, 2:52pm* This Is England not included as I think it is universally accepted that it is a good track.
Gun to my head, "North and South" has the most buried potential, but neither is it an unappreciated gem or anything like that.

Fair point. If TIE was on Sandinista would it get as much love?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑06 Aug 2017, 6:35pmNo disrespect to anyone who genuinely likes the song, but I don't get the love.

Re: The last time you heard CtC.
This Is England is brilliant, just executed poorly with the drum machine etc. Such a great lyric. I can forgive the "this is how we feel" line when we have that great last verse.
I fail to see how anyone who likes the Clash doesn't like Three Card Trick. Even with the drum machine it's better than a lot of Combat Rock and Sandinista.

Re: The last time you heard CtC.
I still can't believe how they never recorded "In The Pouring Pouring Rain" for the album. But then again how shite would it have sounded with a rinky dink Casio keyboard and a drum machine from Mattel.Heston wrote: ↑06 Aug 2017, 7:26pmThis Is England is brilliant, just executed poorly with the drum machine etc. Such a great lyric.

Definitely the lost classic I love it.
