Out of interest, who's given a break or still listening to The Clash after the poll? I took a break but revisiting S! as we speak, put on Corner Soul, got that funny feeling...

I find usually though that the later clash albums have more longevity for me after all these years of listening.

I heard I Fought the Law unexpectedly the other day on my local radio station when they were doing 1979 for their "Time of Our Lives" feature. It sounded fucking great and even the DJ said why isn't this on the radio more.NoMoreHugh wrote: ↑28 May 2019, 5:50pmI am like that with BAD - but i have to admit i got very moved at listening to I fought the law today and i was surprised as i have heard that far too many times to be excited, but today i was like wowMarky Dread wrote: ↑28 May 2019, 4:45pmI can't remember a day where I haven't listened to The Clash.

Radio's always playing....corporation games. But Radio Newcastle is a BBC station where advertisers don't get a say.
