Clash songs you can't stand
We will exclude Cut the Crap for this exercise. There are only two I think of as truly hideous:
Lose This Skin (sorry, Tymon)
Death is a Star

Re: Clash songs you can't stand
I don't know if I've ever actually skipped/fast-forwarded/whatever through a Clash song, but these ones suck bigly:
the kiddo versions of Career Opportunities and the guns of brixton
stop the world
cool confusion
first night back in london
Not that every other song was a total winner, but these are the only ones that actively annoy me if I think about them.

Lover's Rock springs to mind.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

I've studied the phenomenon of neo-provincialism in self-isolating online communities but this place takes the fucking cake.

Hitsville
Lose This Skin
Both because of the vocals.
Most of Side 6
For obvious reasons.

Re: Clash songs you can't stand
I'd say the only Clash song I really can't stand is Junkie Slip.
I just polished off some Low Country shrimp & grits and a mess of collards. That's a hell of a strain on the arm.

Hitsville and Overpowered By Funk are great songs.

Re: Clash songs you can't stand
Hitsville is a great song marred by terrible production. OBF is just fine by me, except for Futura's bit.

Racist.

Re: Clash songs you can't stand
I knew this was coming.
It's one of the funkiest and outside things they ever did. Toppers drums are monolithic - the way he doubles back on the backbeat with the brushes, the sound of his kick, it's all forward motion. Norman's bass is phat. - I think it's an upright. Mick's warped, phased licks are gnarly, the lyric is giddy in it's truthful conveyance of what any addicts day to day life is like. It's Tom Waits a couple years before Tom found his true musical template. I still can't figure out how they came up with it (sure, weed, but still...).
Strong shoes is what we got and when they're hot they're hot!
