Eyesight to the Blind (The Hawk) by The Who : London Calling by The Clash

I know LC is mostly Kinks' Dead End Streets but there's some Who there too.

Simmo mentioned it on Radio 2 the other day, and by golly, he's right!
The whole thing sounds like a mash-up of the London Calling album. Or the other way 'round.

Based on the auld folk song Johnny Todd, which makes perfect Clash sense -- folk song and cop show TV Theme.
Lately I'm beginning to think LC was their least original album in terms of songwriting and ideas. Crazy talk, I know.

Same staccato chords I suppose, you get a narrow pass. Love that song though, I might get Tommy'ed up now.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Have we done BAD songs?

The Bottom Line = White Lines
C'mon Every Beatbox = Summertime Blues and the Coronation Street theme tune.

Not sure if we did BAD yet. But "I Turned Out a Punk" starts off sounding a bit like Roadrunner.

Yeah, for sure.

Hip, Neck and Thigh always reminded me of an Everley Bros song but I can't remember which one.

Eyesight to the Blind is a Sonny Boy Williamson tune.

True tho' The Who's version may be more in tune with the Mose Alison cover.
