Re: Cut The Crap songs vs. This is Big Audio Dynamite songs (Album + B sides)

I love both records. This Is BAD jumps out a bit because it's buoyed by 3 of the best singles any member of Clash was ever involved in. It definitely took me a while to warm up to Medicine Show though, even though I love Spaghetti Westerns. But those verses are so good. And it kicked ass live. The s...

Re: 12 Lesser Clash songs vs Cut the Crap songs Poll 6

Lover's Rock is the nadir of (IMO!!!) The Clash's most overrated album. Embarrassing to listen to. Movers and Shakers is fantastic. It's like Joe's Eye Of The Tiger. These polls are so fun, thanks Heston. So your championing Cut The Crap and think London Calling is The Clash's most overrated album....

Re: 12 Lesser Clash songs vs Cut the Crap songs Poll 6

Saying London Calling is bland, and Cut The Crap is awesome. OK. I do not wish to be rude at someone expressing an opinion. Certainly projected quite a lot, no? It takes all kinds, I guess. That's my opinion. You missed the part where I wrote London Calling was a tasteful, tuneful album and that Cu...

Re: 12 Lesser Clash songs vs Cut the Crap songs Poll 5

I love both songs. I think I just posted a similar sentiment a few months ago but I can't understand the CC hate. Can someone articulate it to me real quick? No judgement, it's all just preference, but I gotta know.. Cool Under Heat was my username on here before the reset in 2008. I love it, love ...

Re: EET Week 2023

I like CTC every year more and more. I don't feel that I enjoy it ironically either, but it's like watching a very ambitious bad movie. In parts it can be extremely entertaining, in rare instances very, very good. And in other's it is literally laughable. It has the feel of something that wasn't fin...

Re: 12 Lesser Clash songs vs Cut the Crap songs Poll 9

This is so tough. They both feel so similar now that I think of it. So tossed off. I like PTW. It's stupid, but the bridge rules, and the shouty stuff is kind of effective in this case.

Re: 12 Lesser Clash songs vs Cut the Crap songs Poll 8

Death Is A Star a lesser Clash song?? I love it, love the Rat Patrol version more.

It's a really effective mood piece. I love Joe and Mick swapping vocals.

Re: 12 Lesser Clash songs vs Cut the Crap songs Poll 4

So tough. It would be a no brainer for OBF if it weren't for how badly it drags on the final mix. The dance edits Mick had for it that never got an official release are amazing.

Re: 12 Lesser Clash songs vs Cut the Crap songs Poll 11

Loving these polls. I am no CTC hater (or apologist) but North and South is just pure cheese. It's like every bad sound from a DX-7 piled into one track. Really hard on the ears. I can listen to the record straight through except for this one. Drug Stabbing Time is probably the worst song on a very ...

Bottom Line = Run Like Hell

Man, did Mick take a piece from this one. I love Bottom Line no matter what, once the verse kicks in it's quite different.

Re: Mick's synths

I'd like to know this too. I'm particularly interested if that reedy sound in Car Jamming is the Dalek's handbag or a keyboard synth. That sounds like the SPV355 for Car Jamming, that rack mounted analog synth that was intended for other instruments to be played through it, like guitar or sax, as G...
