A GREATEST OF ALL TUNES CELEBRATION OF 40 YEARS OF THE CLASH, PART THREE!

the clash!

To close out our celebration of my favorite band, my top 20 favorite songs of theirs.  Today: #20-11!

THE BERKELEY PLACE TOP 20 CLASH SONGS OF ALL TIME

20.  The Guns of Brixton (London Calling, 1979)

Further listening: Tommy Gun (Give ‘Em Enough Rope, 1978)

Covers and samples: Starting with one of my faves, from Beats International (Fatboy Slim’s original band)….
