Both legendary, but besides Complete Control being the namesake for my various blogs throughout my life, it's also faster, louder and better. Voting White Man off the island.

I know last time we did this game I refused to vote White Man, but today I'm more partially to the energy and Joe's barely comprehensible delivery.

CC is my favourite song of all time by anyone. I find White Man a touch overrated. It is really really great but I find the production a bit harsh and tinny so it has to lose marks for that.

I think we've made this observation before but White Man with CoL production value would have been :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

Yep. May be sacrilege but my favourite version of White Man is on FHTE and Terry is drumming on it.

CC has to get my vote. It's still one of the best songs ever but White Man is just that bit better. Loved it from the moment I heard it at 15. Don't think I owned a textbook free from "If Adolf Hitler flew in today, they'd send a limousine anyway."

This whole time I was sure I was going to vote CC off, but when I sat here and thought about it, the beehive it puts in my chest when I hear it, I knew it had to stay.

Shaping up for a slight shock here.

If CC can beat White Man, does it stand a chance of felling Straight to Hell? Strange days ahead.

They are my top two Clash songs. It will be tough but I know what decision will have to be made.

I'm not confident that those honking in hankies won't back SAE to the end.

Well my Clash top 5 usually consists of CC, STH, Rudie, SAE and Safe Euro Home. All are doing pretty well.
