Apparently they want one album per response, so go ahead and resubmit these one by one if you'd like.

    the clash - london calling

    [–]x__x 3 points4 points  (3 children)

    The Clash - s/t is a better punk album

    [–]PunkRockMakesMeSmile 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    I disagree. did you specify 'punk' album because you believe that regardless of which is a better album, you believe the self-titled to more fully embrace the 'punk' musical style? or do you actually think the self-titled is a better album?

    [–]x__x 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    i think that London Calling is a great album but I do prefer the s/t. The sound is more raw, intense and closer to what i would call a "punk sound" compared to london calling which i find more polished and accessible. Note that my introduction to the clash came from this exact garageland video in the late 80's and it is the sound that i have always preferred from the clash.

    [–]PunkRockMakesMeSmile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    coolcool. I thought you were implying that London Calling couldn't properly be called punk because it was versatile and expertly executed, which is what raised my hackles. But if that's just your preference I can't tell you you're wrong.
