Re: ROUND 10 - London Calling - Side Four
Like the bridge and the cover version of I'm Not Down, but not a fan of the lyric (other than TiV probably the only one on the album Joe had no hand in) or the chorus. And sorry, but Four Horseman rocks and rolls (unlike most of GEER), and I'm also taking the Four Horseman bridge over the I'm Not Down bridge for that matter, and when they say "us" in the lyric, remember, its you singing along, and its your song not theirs...
Anyways, looking forward to getting trounced next round.

I'm Not Down wouldn't be among my top 10 or even top 20 Clash songs but the verse beginning "i've lived that kind of day" is simply immense, quite possibly the best 30 seconds they ever put on vinyl. Love how it builds up to that "I'm not giving up" crescendo before settling back into the songs regular rhythm.

TiV will win, you vil lose.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
