ROUND 11 - Sandinista! - Side Four
Somebody Got Murdered and One More Time received equal votes - so both songs will move on.

IMCT is the weak song, the rest are damn good.

I think you mean side three, Westway.
Voting IMCT here. Any song that would be associated with this madhouse...

Musically IMCT is great but it's really just an experiment lyrically albeit a fun one.

As someone who used to live on the carnival route for many years to me Let's Go Crazy captures all the sounds of the Notting Hill Carnival perfectly, the steel drums, the sound systems, the whistles (the fucking whistles ) and the crowd etc..

Right, who has voted for one of the best ever Clash songs, Corner Soul, above the second rate spittle fest that is Lightning Strikes? I fucking despair.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

This is peak S! for me. IMCT is enjoyable enough, but as mentioned above, more of a fun experiment than a compelling piece of music.
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.
