ROUND 3 - Non Album Tracks Part 2

This is a stacked field of songs. City of the Dead never had a chance.

Actually this is the hardest poll just had to vot for one of my favourite Clash tracks already.

I think it's weird City of the Dead was the consensus weak track last round, I think it's one of their best. Sticking with Jail Guitar Doors, but it's hard to justify any particular pick over another.

It's easily weaker than the others to be fair, once it's gone you're left with pure quality.

I was trying to keep Justice Tonight/Kick or Over around a bit longer, but it's pretty damned defensible to vote it out this round. As much as I enjoy 'em, none of The Clash's dubs are really top-shelf examples of the form. They're a fine reggae and dub group, but they're one of the all-time rock acts, so voting will probably recognize that in the end.

Agree in general but I thought Justice Tonight/Kick It over was pretty spectacular. Shame it's gone.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Yes.
They’re quite fun but they definitely are a weaker link.

I would have fought pretty hard for Bankrobber/Robber Dub if it had been included off BMC. Like getting a two-fer.
