    I was just wondering which songs you listen the most to.
    Personally, I can't get over the magnificence of Straight to Hell and Ghetto Defendant. I also listen alot to London's Burning, Know Your Rights, Washington Bullets and Charlie Don't Surf.

    How about everyone else?

    My personal fave is usually "Safe European Home".As a fan of the much maligned GEER, I tend to err towards many tracks from that particular set. A current fave is "Guns on the Roof".
    I said "current fave" because it changes so frequently. ask me another day and I could say Broadway, One More Time, Wrong 'em Boyo, Garageland, Last Gang or almost anything in fact. Let's face it, they did so many great songs, I reckon most people's favourite changes from time to time.

    Well, more than 25 years ago, I played the first album every day, those were my favourite songs, but with the time, I changed my opinion and preferred to listen to the London Calling or the Combat Rock. Now I´m 44 and going back to the old "clashic" themes. I have to say that I can´t find anything better than Complete Control, Carreer Opportunities, Tommy Gun or Safe European Home. What´s happening to me.....?

    My all time favourite is still This is England! The only one on CTC that Bernie not only was unable to ruin, but actually did a favour. No live version or alternative take can match. Anyone else out there who believes that the "dodgy Clash" were not as bad?
