Why is this the greatest rock album?

Why is this the greatest rock album?

Because Clash.

because the guns of brixton is the best rock song

Cause its consistent.

Because it' introduced a new form of edge to music, literally. Most musicologists understand this. But they also understand, of course, you can not single it out unless you listen to it in a very specific way.

>blocks your path

Learn something about music

cause its fuckin bitchin dude

best straightforward rock album here

Sorry, OP, but THIS is THE GOAT Clash album! They should've called it quits after this masterpiece!

i'm not really impressed by them learning how to play bog standard reggae myself
wow they were a punk band and now they sound like mediocre reggae wow

That's a funny way to spell Spanish Bombs.

Either this or Born to Run

London Calling is top 10 though. Probably top5

I mean, can words really explain how great this is? How would you go about it?

>putting The Clash over Can
Fuck off, pleb.

Get a load of this newfag.

because rock was a severely limited form of musical expression

Maybe if you're deaf.

not even the greatest Clash album

Why is this the only The Clash album worth listening to?

It's not

Absolute perfection

ITT: Dadrockers

This album alone shits in everything Clash ever did.

Clash fucking sucks.

t. someone who disses any rock pre-80s as dadrock

Grunge is dadrock now, and so is 80's music just in general. Gen Z's parents are mostly Gen X. It's actually pretty unlikely to find loads of Gen Z people whose parents listen to what is generally called dadrock. And, keep in mind, Gen Z's coming of age around now. 1996 onwards. The first wave of them can post here.

Dadrock has lost most of its meaning.

uhhhh sandinista?

London Calling is fucking garbage, every song is just fucking low-energy, limp-wristed pastiche. There's no real punk on the album, it's fucking light rock/shitty reggae and every real band in those genres does it better. I like their first albums all right but I will never get the hype behind this.
