The Clash's London Calling

^ that song is def the most gangsta on the album. personally, i love this album, its not punk, its jazzy and reggae, fuckin great, my fav track lost in the supermarket

That was they thing about early punk: it had alll those connections with reggae and even early hip hop. All three were rebel musics from different cultures and at the time this album came out they all had a great synergy with each other that is sorely missed these days. Everyone seems like their in their own universes now, save the odd crossover mega-hits. I think now adays, Dub Trio definitely represents that harmony between the three musics.

their debut sounds punk, also proto-punk bands like the stooges and velvet underground sound punk, as well as the sex pistols, and even the fuckin ramones sound punk compared to "london calling" only the title song would be considered punk, on another note i like stuff like this better than "punk", two tone stuff like the specials,

I just listened to the card cheat and clampdown, they are contenders for my favourite track. Such a great album. RIP Joe Strummer, a true legend.

I got three The Clash shirts, one has this cover on it.

[Don Jacob]

good album, even though i don't really get into punk that much.

It's only punk at heart.  The album is so incredibly diverse.  Reggae, rhythm and blues, rockabilly, ska,  and damn near every genre of music lol.
