What's your favorite song from The Clash?
I go through Clash phases and I feel another one coming on. It will usually last for 2 weeks or so. I always find myself in awe of Death or Glory from London Calling and White Man (in Hammersmith Palais) which was initially only released as a single but I think it comes on the self titled cd nowadays.

What's your favorite Clash song?

4. Wrong Em Boyo is one of the cases
Where the cover is better than the original.

When I saw The Pogues they opened with Straight to Hell... BADASS.
