All great indeed. Sticking with SB though.

Tough, but voting for Lost in the Supermarket.

That's baffling to me when the far more musically blah Spanish Bombs is still around.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I'm not sure there's even been a Clash mix I've put together that I haven't wrangled Spanish Bombs onto. LOVE it.

I'm a huge fan of Supermarket. SB has great lyrics - but Supermarket has great "personal" lyrics - even if Mick never had a hedge back home in the suburbs. He sings it well and musically it is far more interesting than SB.

Re: ROUND 7 - London Calling - Side Two
Argh, I can't separate SB and Supermarket. Gonna have to go with the latter even though it is superb.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Flexter. It’s a masterpiece, and Hoy disliking it only proves my point.

Voted for Clampdown as it is the weakest song on that side & Yanks like it for some reason.
