Give 'Em Enough Rope: Best Clash Album?!
I bet we have controversial opinions to share about this subject!
Additionally, did you know that if death comes so cheap, then the same goes for life?

The best Clash album is the Cost of Living EP.

The best Clash album is Sandinista! … side seven!

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: Give 'Em Enough Rope: Best Clash Album?!
Apparently it has some killer lyrics (never my thing), but as I have stated here on numerous occasions, I find the arrangements to be very uninspired, dragging the album as a whole, down. That and I had already played the hell out of SEH, TG, and ECW before ever owning the album and what I was left with wasn't much.

CoL's an EP, not an album. GEER still wins.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

I honestly still prefer LC, but we're splitting hairs between the first 4 Clash albums for personal preference...

Uhm, GEER is one of the first three albums, therefore you disagree.matedog wrote:Hey, we can all agree! I think we were at Snews a little too long.eumaas wrote:LC's an acceptable best as is s/t.

Okay, in my head I had GEER as being better than CR for some reason. I just had to fix that malfunction.eumaas wrote:Uhm, GEER is one of the first three albums, therefore you disagree.matedog wrote:Hey, we can all agree!

Actually I can accept people choosing it as their fav and any of the first four for that matter.

That's a revelation to me—I thought you were in the GEER-as-pinnacle crowd (aka the Kiss Army).Wolter wrote:I honestly still prefer LC, but we're splitting hairs between the first 4 Clash albums for personal preference...

Nope. Never was. I'm in that happy middle where GEER kicks major ass and is underrated, but LC is still my personal favorite.Dr. Medulla wrote:That's a revelation to me—I thought you were in the GEER-as-pinnacle crowd (aka the Kiss Army).Wolter wrote:I honestly still prefer LC, but we're splitting hairs between the first 4 Clash albums for personal preference...

While I like GEER a lot, it aint the best Clash LP.
