The voting for OMT begins. Sorry, SRPs, I'm not gonna vote off the punk rock cuts ahead of this one.

No USA no Clash.
No one more time for OMT.

Over the last few weeks OMT has blossomed from a rarely listened to number to an essential Clash track for me. Will be sad to see it go if it does this round.

. It's an absolute barnstormer
. Great call and response vocals
. Classic ending
. One of Topper's best performances, I love that faltering pause he does before the singing comes in

I genuinely like it but it is definitely given a higher place than a lot of Clash songs I like better. Like One More Time.

I can still vividly remember the first time I heard it and where I was. I had bought the LP and had to play it in my sister's room because my needle was fucked. It clean blew my head off when I put it on and had to listen to it about 5 times before I moved on to the next track.

You are god damn right.
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.

My mistake, very possibly next though. But yeah, great song.
