Has anyone ever stood up for "Lover's Rock"?

Can't see how you can really. Can't make a minute of it without cringing.

Put it this way, if CR didn't have RTC and STH, I'd sooner listen to Cut The Crap.

If brilliant instrumentation and a good groove is a crime then definitely guilty as charged.

I've always hated Strummer's "make real cool" and Jones' high pitched "lover's rock." Can't explain why but it grates on me.

Your honour, the defendants are not resisting hospitalization, so, yeah, take 'em away.

OK...I'll vouch for the Vanilla Tapes version being warm and cheeky in a way the album version lacks, but that's as far into the abyss as I'm wading here.

Hmm, I declare you … eccentric.

Lover's Rock just suffers as being the only questionable song on LC. As a b-side it would have been acceptable.

I'm just surprised to see Sean Flynn in there, I love that song.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
