It's all about protecting Groovy Times (some of their goddamned best lyrics ever) from here on out. I voted Bankrobber, since those CoL tunes are just so unbelievably perfect.

IFTL is a cover but I'm hoping it stays as it blows Bankrobber away.

I was certain this was going to come down to Complete Control vs. Bankrobber, but now I'm not so sure...

Was hoping the same.

It will be CC vs GotW and the former will win.

Yep I just re read the list and forgot GotW was there. I prefer the later although how your separate that kind of quality is unreal.

I'm hoping CC will win outright but it probably won't. GotW is such a great song as well, top ten for me easily.

I went GT but only because it is least favourite on COL.

Note: still a brilliant track

I Fought the Law is another tricky one as even though it's cover, they totally made it their own. That solo with about 4 Micks and Topper's whole performance are highlights for me. It kind of keeps that GEER sound but somehow executes it better.

Yeah. It's mixed more pleasingly than GEER.

I prefer it to CR2, a real underrated classic for me. It was my Dad's favourite Clash song too, great memories of him singing along with the wrong words.

Can't argue with any of this. Which annoys me. :mrgreen:
