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

Totally wrong on Combat Rock. Every song is a complete jammer, barring Overpowered By Funk. That one I will always skip. It’s got such a vibe production wise. Unlike any other record. Sandinista to me is the lead up to their swan song masterpiece. Both are great, but the tightness of CR wins out for me. Plus it has Straight to Hell and Ghetto Defendant on it, just such mood pieces

I didn't say I didn't like Combat Rock, because I do. I saw the tour for it at the time, and I still listen to it at times.

However, Sandinista! is a much stronger album IMHO.

Fair enough, was just being music nerd drama man. I once did my own edit of Sandinista and took out all the songs I didn’t like and put it on cassette. Did the same for the white album, then realized I took out most of Paul’s songs haha

With respect, “totally wrong” in matters of artistic taste is totally wrong… :-)

For example, I think Overpowered by Funk is amazing. ”Don’t you love our Western ways?”

I know, I’m just being dramatic. Sometimes wrong is just wrong though. For example, if you think that Machine Gun Kelly is good music, for example
