Wilderness Years - vote your top 3

[Wolter]

It's a Rockin' World
Unknown Immortal
Sleepwalk (Loses points for the murky production but one of Joe's best songs for me)

I know that there are some inherent flaws throughout Earthquake Weather, but damn it I wish someone would have been there to tighten up the flab and produce it better. And burn every tape used for Boogie With Your Children.

I still think a remixed and remastered deluxe release of Earthquake Weather is one of the great opportunities open to the Legacy imprint to put out there. I get that we always try to check ourselves on how much currency Joe and The Clash really have in the wider world, but there's no way they couldn't figure out how to make a reissue of The First Joe Strummer Solo Album worth it - way more obscure artists get the remix/deluxe treatment.

Love Kills
Burning Lights
Trash City

So, on Sunday I was listening to the CD mix of Wilderness Years songs I had in my car, and while that era was very disjointed and aimless, he really had a lot of solid material coming out in dribs and drabs. I wish he had a stronger willed collaborator willing to both encourage and push him in that period.

I enjoy it more than BAD.

To be honest, so do I.

Is this the great cleave that un-united the GEERites?

[laxman]

Tough ask, only three, but I reckon the three I play most when I have a wilderness years listen are

Island Hopping
Cholo Vest
Nothin Bout Nothin

The brigades are nothing but war stories traded between old ghosts.

That's all well and good, eumaas, but if you don't vote I'm putting you down as

1. Island Hopping
2. Island Hopping
3. Boogie with your Children

Yep, my biggest gripe with this album has always been the awful sound. Some good songs get lost in the mud.

[Wolter]

I just updated mine. Forgot how much I love "Nothin' Bout Nothin"

And I was just registering to Cholo Vest. I still adore it, but it's just not quite what I'd pick as a best of.
