Maybe it goes hand in hand with some people's dislike for GEER...which I also don't understand.

Re: Friday Poll Thread #3 - Worst Clash Song
Nicely put.
Also agree WestwayKid, it's a fine album and (Cheapskates aside) won't hear a bad word said against it.
Re: Friday Poll Thread #3 - Worst Clash Song
It's got a good hook in the chorus which is more than I can say for the rest of the non-SEH/ECW/TG dreck.
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.

Re: Friday Poll Thread #3 - Worst Clash Song
With regards to the poll, Death Is A Star isn't mentioned so I'll have to plump for First Night, Cool Confusion a close second.

Re: Friday Poll Thread #3 - Worst Clash Song
What we need is a Litmus test so that we can put these things into perspective.
What we need is non Clash songs that are universally agreed to be crap (alkaline) and great (acid) with a neutral so so in the middle.
For example if you are saying Junkie Slip is crap where does it fit on the IMCT Litmus scale? Is it Alkaline as bad as An Englishman In New York or Acid Anarchy In The UK.

Had to vote for other... Overpowered by Funk.
Simply for the opening line. Simply horrific.
I think I'd kind of like it if I didn't understand English.

What a beautiful condemnation.

Why don't you have the corrected version. It's on the S! remaster I did and as CK states at it's correct speed it's a decent track.

Ha, thanks for the reminder, Marky. I'll give it a spin.

Maybe if Ivan wasn't sung by Topper I might have more time for it.
