Clash songs you can't stand
Re: Clash songs you can't stand
Philosophically I think I would prefer to relegate shit tracks to B-sides than to plop them in the middle of an album, but your mileage may vary.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

They'd have to produce a lot of singles to accommodate so many iffy songs from the latter part of their career …

They could have just put out shit albums alongside the good ones. Give them sandpaper covers.

Re: Clash songs you can't stand
Vini Reilly beat them to that gag. But, yeah, the idea of more songs as some kind of more-value-for-the-money principle assumes that all songs are of equal value. I'm good with a record of six songs if all six are strong and make sense as a collection. No need to tack on four more weak ones just for royalties and pricing. Oh, right, profitability …eumaas wrote: ↑15 Feb 2018, 12:33pmOr briefer albums!Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Feb 2018, 12:30pmThey'd have to produce a lot of singles to accommodate so many iffy songs from the latter part of their career …

I agree. Cost Of Living and Too Much Too Young EP's are two of my favourite records. Both perfect.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Feb 2018, 12:44pmVini Reilly beat them to that gag.

Re: Clash songs you can't stand
It's weird that you describe such a cool sounding song and then claim it's bad.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Re: Clash songs you can't stand
Card Cheat is stellar.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

They kind of went downhill after '1977'.
