Reply to comment by DarrylCornejo in Train in Vain - The Clash, why am I just now hearing this great tune? by Hessian-Ghost

You know I honestly think Combat Rock is the superior album, if not the more influential. Leaving aside people's annoyance with Rock the Casbah, there some insanely catchy tunes and original material in there. 'Ghetto Defendant' and 'Red Angel Dragnet' are big faves.

OP, you should check out the soundtrack to a great movie, Grosse Pointe Blank. It's all this genre/era of music and has some excellent Clash tunes, and was put together by Clash frontman Joe Strummer. Armegideon Time is one of my favorites. Also the Pogues are definitely the next band you should check out.

If you like Combat Rock, then get ready for your head to explode. How about the unreleased double album -- "Rat Patrol from Fort Bragg". Find it, download it, then get comfortable.

Thank you for this. I had no idea this existed until I read your comment but I'm halfway through it and loving it.

100% solid recommendation on The Pouges. “If I fall from grace with god” is an amazing record.

If I should fall from grace of god is a tremendous heartfelt album from start to finish.
