The early 80’s had a sound to it, and this is it. I was a very geeky, square kid in those days, as uncool as you could be, and I did not connect with this music, this sound, but that was what “cool” sounded like, in part because it so fresh, new, original, but self-confidently appropriating pure rock-n-roll sound to their own rebellious and self-assertive purposes. What was fresh then is now classic, yet still fresh as the day it was performed.
Joe Strummer is a gift to the world, but I'm still amazed how he doesn't get how he's supposed to say something when he's mic-ed. Improvise, you bloody fool.

The Clash
THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS!!!
✊❤️❤️✊
Topper and his remarkable class are goddamn good on the drums...!!!
Topper was an amazingly talented drummer. His skills were actually largely unused in The Clash.
My fav drummer all time. as far as being unused, check out any of the 1981 Bonds recordings. STUNNING!!!. Great snare work
they ve the dance moves
this sounds unbelievably great, holy fuaa-what the ef!!! just amazing. this recording is a treasure.
that groove puts them above any punk band from that period.
Slaughter and the dogs
RIP Joe Strummer ❤
coolest front man ever
Greg Graffin's cooler.....
I think this song was spotlight for Topper to play his jazz drum licks
Fk I love this

Les moins de 20 ans ne peuvent pas connaître. J'adore
