Rock the Casbah is probably the most known song (if not "Should I stay or Should I go"), but when most people think of the clash, they think of london calling.


Or maybe not, I don't really know what other people are thinking.

[QUOTE=guns_of_brixton]Yes. And combat Rock is easily the most popular. Everyone knows Rock the Casbah.[/QUOTE]
You really think Combat Rock is the most popularist? I always thought it was one of the least popularist.

Forest_Fire 08-04-2005 03:18 PM

My parents didn't know who the clash were, so I started listing songs and they didn't know any until I mentioned "Rock the casbah". They said they saw the video all the time on tv.

I'd say Combat Rock is the [I]most popular[/I]. I know it sold the most copies.

My dad likes the Clash, but mostly only the songs everyone knows. He liked Streetcore.

CombatRock 08-04-2005 05:22 PM

My mom likes Redemption Song allot, when i drive with her she sings along with it.

guns_of_brixton 08-04-2005 07:17 PM

Yea, mah pops was all like "a Bob Marley song, cool."

CombatRock 08-05-2005 10:17 AM

Your dad know Marley tunes? Off subject sorta, my dad went to Jamaica and at the hotel a reggae band was playing and doing cover songs of Marley. My dad got on stage and played the tamborine.


/no joke.

guns_of_brixton 08-05-2005 10:19 AM

Haha, that's pretty awesome. My dad likes alot of the same music as me. He recognized Holiday In Cambodia and was like, "the Dead Kennedys? You like them?"

It sold more but I wouldn't say it's more popular.

Aeaon 08-05-2005 01:12 PM

Some Clash fans didn't like it that much. I think it's great.

CombatRock 08-05-2005 10:26 PM

[QUOTE=sketchyjoe]It sold more but I wouldn't say it's more popular.[/QUOTE]
London Calling didnt sale more? Seans get your dad to be yalls drummer!

sketchyjoe 08-05-2005 10:29 PM

In the US London Calling went gold whereas Combat Rock went Platinum as it had more popular singles.

[QUOTE=CombatRock]Your dad know Marley tunes?[/QUOTE]
Everyone know Bob Marley. There's tribes living in the Amazon rainforest who've never met white people before but if you turned up with a stereo playing Jammin' they all go "Hey! It's Bob Marley!"

CombatRock 08-05-2005 10:31 PM

So wouldnt that mean London Calling sold more?





/i guess thats not taking in the rest of the world, only US.

sketchyjoe 08-05-2005 10:34 PM

Dunno.

CombatRock 08-05-2005 10:45 PM

Oh well, London Calling is far better. My friend pissed me off, he calims he likes the clash, has shirts and what not. The other night we were listing to music i put a clash song in he said "i dont like them" bahumbug.

guns_of_brixton 08-06-2005 11:22 AM

My dad can't play the drums... :confused:

And if Amazon tribes had never met white people they could obviously still know Bob Marley... the man is a negro.

Everyone likes the Clash to some degree because it's impossible not to know and like Rock the Casbah.

... and I am watching the Cubs/Mets game in New York, and they played "Should I Stay..." as they went to the commercials and I was like "huh?" Then I remembered the huge show teh Clash played in Shea Stadium in 1981.

CombatRock 08-06-2005 06:00 PM

I just bought some cds on has Joe Strummer and the Mescelros playing Junco Partner live.

Mannik 08-06-2005 07:11 PM

That version of Junco Partner is really good. It's even better better than the studio version on Sandinista.

CombatRock 08-06-2005 07:36 PM

Not to me, i just listend to it, i like Sandinistas version better.
