Name your three favourite songs by... [The Cure]

[Baile Brigín 2]

Not that familiar with the Clash ,  so hoping to be educated here before submitting my  three

Amazing band who didn't record enough.

Early days, raw punk. Then much more melodic, but always searingly political.

London Calling is probably the best album to get started, best of both worlds.

Clash on Broadway is kinda a greatest hits. Chronological but with some rare stuff mixed in. Wouldn't be like them to just do a best of

[BigGreenField]

White man in Hammersmith Palias
Spanish Bombs
Coma Girl (this was a joe strummer solo run but its bloody class so it's included)

London Calling , oft covered never bettered and The Call Up, which seems very appropriate now

[tonto1888]

So many to pick from so here's my top 3 for the moment. Could well change in an hour
I fought the law
White riot
Tommy gun

[joemo]

The band I regret not seeing more than any other. Their first 3 albums are amazing, and it's hard to pick just 3 tracks.

White Man in Hammersmith Palais. Disillusionment with the punk scene, social commentary, reggae infused punk.

Guns Of Brixton - great lyrics and an ever better bassline (sampled on Dub Be Good To Me).

London Calling - apocalyptic.

[Sean3]

Police and Thieves
Rock the Casbah
London Calling

[Tony Baloney]

London Calling - apocalyptic.

I wouldn't know much stuff from The Clash beyond the famous stuff. I stuck on Spotify in the car and it annoyed me where that had been sampled! Straight to He'll definitely has been sampled in a modern song but I'm refusing to Google it.

London Calling - apocalyptic.

Well called, that man.
Perfection, in a song.

[weareros]

Should I Stay or Should I Go
I Fought the Law (cover but a great one, Bobby Fuller Four original great song too)
London Calling

[AustinPowers]

Should I Stay or Should I Go
I Fought the Law (cover but a great one, Bobby Fuller Four original great song too)
London Calling

I was wrecking my head as to  why  that was released again in the 90's. Had to be  a Levi's advert . This was my first  awareness of the song

After reading this I put on Spotify and yeh straight away I got the song.. Paper Planes, never knew tune that was from a song previously

Yes a few older classic songs became hits again because of those Levi ads. The other big one was The Joker by Steve Miller Band and Stand by Me by Ben E King hit number 1 in late 80s.

Did it  not become no 1  because of the film?

There was also  Stilskin, basically just  a guitar riff, and that God awful Spaceman, by Babylon Zoo .
