I do see however why Lovers Rock would get no points but Train in Vain ???? and Band New Cadillac how the hell did those two songs not get a single vote.
And here comes the crowd disappointer I myself after all these years am a little bored now of London Calling so find it a bit too predictable and very obvious that it should come up top. But I do remember my full excitement when I first ever heard it but that song was so ramped up in the studio that the live versions just feel like the song just plods along so that might be why I went off it.
Agree 100% with your point about Lovers Rock and BNC & TIV.
Although having heard it so many times I still enjoy listening to London Calling studio recording. However I fully agree with your comment about live versions it's one of the few Clash songs that I can't recall hearing a great live version of and where the studio version is so superior. Goes to show how great the production is I suppose.

Yeah, Joe never quite recaptured that studio performance. He's basically singing about two or three notes but it's the nuance and expression he puts into every line that makes it work. Easily one of his best ever recorded vocals. That's why it's still a killer top 10 Clash tune for me.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
Now London calling album is so good that 90% of the album could be in any order for me and I wouldn't disagree with the song rating at all.

My guess is TIV and BNC were #6 on a lot of people's lists.
Interesting how a different voting format can net such different results, though the top tier 4 seem pretty much cemented at this point.

That's a good point I didn't really consider that I guess the only true way to get a flavour would to fully score the whole album. I would struggle to give a score to just 5 songs I probably could just manage the first 4 but the 5th song could be anyone off that album. My vote would be very different I think as I score how I feel today and that list would always change by the next day. I find that now I appreciate and listen to the lesser songs that were obscured by bigger songs like London Calling when I first bought the album.

A lot of the previous voting was likely affected by lurkers as well.

No London Calling is by a band called The Clash. The Lurkers did Fulham Fallout.
