You were expecting punk and got post-punk

>>65994785
How the fuck is this post-punk. There are zero crescendos

The Clash are the best punk band, no one else could evolve their sound like they did

>>65994797
>crescendos

that's post rock m8

The Clash were above punk music. If you're one of these "real punk" faggots don't expect to like it.

>>65994724
There's only one track that slightly resembles ska what are you on about lad?

>>65994724
Well OP while the point of your post may be suspect,

can we all agree that ska is fucking gay? It's probably my least favorite part of punk music

it is a mediocre album with 3 songs that stick out at all. one of the first things that I've listened to that made me think about how mediocre it was.
I'm not sure how they made a song as great as London Calling.

Spanish bombs is the best track

>>65996315
Card Cheat is on the upper end of the album. It goes:
-Best Tier-
>Death or Glory
-Godlike Tier-
>Spanish Bombs
>Lost in the Supermarket
>Train In Vain
-Great Tier-
>Card Cheat
>London Calling
>Koka Kola
-Good Tier-
>I'm Not Down
>Hateful
>Rudie Can't Fail
>Wrong 'Em Boyo
-Okay Tier-
>Clampdown
>Guns of Brixton
>Hateful
-Mediocre Tier-
>Brand New Cadillac
>The Right Profile
>Revolution Rock
>Four Horsemen
-Flaming Garbage Tier-
>Lover's Rock

>>65996396
Man i like the right profile and revolution rock, also what about jimmy jazz

>>65996491
Oh fuck, I must have deleted it when I did the formatting. I'd slot it into okay tier.

Also, the Right Profile and Revolution Rock are fine songs, they're just kind of mediocre compared to the rest of the album. Keeping in mind, mediocre for the Clash is still pretty good.

first album is a great punk record, after that they must have gotten into reggae, and made some really good genre-crossing stuff and that's why they're remembered today

>post-punk

How?

>>65995735
I could listen to Superman, and The Impression That I Get, forever.
But that's about it. I feel you. A sorta popular Ska punk band is from my hometown, so everyone was constantly going on about how much they loooooove ska.

>>65996934
it's not post punk, but it is punk influenced music made by a former punk band, so its true in a sense

>>65995815
I don't know what is the best one but I believe it is London Calling because it's so monotonic that I couldn't get any further

>muh real punk
lmao grow the fuck up you 15 year old

its a great mix of ska, reggae, funk, pop and well punk

Best song is right profile. Joe dissolving into gibberish is one of my favourite moments in all music

>>65995735
You're my least favorite part of punk music.

>>65998018
Well you're my least favorite part of punk music too for your information.

>>65997042
the clash are a first wave punk band

>>65997294
which makes it pretty much anti punk.
the clash are the multiculturalism of "punk" without playing punk music. and it will always be accepted to like them because joe had a huge white guilt complex from growing up as an ambassadors son in Africa.
so we wuz punk rockers and shit

You were expecting Punk and got good music instead. Punk is shit.

>>65994838
This.
