The only way you could choose Londons Burning is by default as it is next to the worst on the ballot paper.

London's Burning is a 10/10 song, by the way.
Re: The GREAT Clash SURVIVOR Poll of 2019!!
LB is an ok song, just a bit... dull. Live version is pretty solid though.

It would appear that the writing is on the wall for Deny...

2 votes for the best track on side 1...
Re: The GREAT Clash SURVIVOR Poll of 2019 (The Clash LP)!!
I had to vote for Deny, but I still think it's a great punk song for its time.
Got a Rake? Sure!

there are the polls that are hard because all the songs are winners and there are polls that are hard because, well...

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

I went for London's Burning over Deny. I love Joe's voice on Deny when he sings those "baby I've seen your arms" bits. London's Burning is fine but a bit unmelodic and chanty.

Whatever they are passing off for beer in Tyneside please stop drinking it.
The lyric "Black or white turn it on, face the new religion" ''Everybody's sitting 'round watching television'' is epic. A call to arms to get off your backside and make something happen, it's so punk rock it hurts.

Now ''Deny'' is not a bad track far from it. But I wish they had put it on the ''White Riot'' B-side and had ''1977'' on the LP.

Indeed. I was referring to it musically rather than the great lyrics. Something had to go and I like Deny too much.Marky Dread wrote: ↑04 Apr 2019, 5:04pmWhatever they are passing off for beer in Tyneside please stop drinking it.

''Do you think I'm a raving idiot? Just got off the boat'' - not good at all.
