Zzyzx (Buy a vowel!), California Superthread

[Axver]

Three songs in:
1. London Calling
2. Brand New Cadillac
3. Jimmy Jazz

(ranking, not track order)

I'd agree with this. Can't say I care much for Jimmy Jazz.

 

[phillyfan26]

The bass guitarist of the Clash seems to have a jazz bass style in general.

Paul Simonon, ftfw.

 

[Irishteen]

I don't know who Girlicious are and I suspect I am happier this way.

They're the new Pussycat Dolls



All right time to make up the tables and results

 

[phillyfan26]

Rudie Can't Fail sounds like fucking ska. I can dig it.

Was not expecting that from a punk rock band.

 

[Axver]

There is no way this can be good. Or even tolerable.

You should hear Revolution Rock. The ska influence on that track is even more obvious.

Yeah I'm not expecting much...

Rudie can't fail!

 

[phillyfan26]

1. London Calling
2. Brand New Cadillac
3. Rudie Can't Fail
4. Hateful
5. Jimmy Jazz

 

[Reggo]

Was not expecting that from a punk rock band.

Then plan to be pleasantly surprised by the rest of the album. There's not much snarling punk on LC.

Another favourite!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I wouldn't even call London Calling a punk album really.

But goddam is it good.

 

[LemonMelon]

I wouldn't even call London Calling a punk album really.

But goddam is it good.

Yeah, I wouldn't call it punk either. It's really eclectic.

Lost In The Supermarket cracks me up.

 

[phillyfan26]

1. London Calling
2. Brand New Cadillac
3. Rudie Can't Fail
4. Hateful
5. Jimmy Jazz

Small audible on 2 and 3 there give you this:

1. London Calling
2. Spanish Bombs
3. Rudie Can't Fail
4. Brand New Cadillac
5. Hateful
6. Jimmy Jazz

 

[Reggo]

Yeah, I wouldn't call it punk either. It's really eclectic.

Lost In The Supermarket cracks me up.

The Right Profile and Lover's Rock do the same for me.

 

[Irishteen]

1. London Calling
2. Brand New Cadillac
3. Rudie Can't Fail
4. Hateful
5. Jimmy Jazz

I'd rank them

1. London calling
2. Rudie
3. Hateful
4. Cadillac
5. Jimmy Jazz






Round 2 results and table are up for the Premier guys

 

[Axver]

Spanish Bombs for the win.

I enjoy some ska. Streetlight Manifesto is the only band all of my buddies and I enjoy.

This album is kicking my ass right now.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

The two songs that really hooked me onto the Clash were Lost in the Supermarket and Death or Glory.

There were some others too, but I remember those were the big ones for me.

That's why it's a classic.

 

[phillyfan26]

Are The Clash one of those bands with one real good album or is the rest of their discography worth checking out?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

The rest of their discography owns.

Just not as much as London Calling.

 

[LemonMelon]

Are The Clash one of those bands with one real good album or is the rest of their discography worth checking out?

Their debut is pretty fucking cool. London's Burning? White Riot? Yeah.

 

[Reggo]

Their debut is pretty fucking cool. London's Burning? White Riot? Yeah.

I love Sandinista! too. I have Combat Rock, but I haven't really listened to it yet.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Combat Rock has a song called Know Your Rights which Pearl Jam used to cover all the time. Kickass song.

And my favorite Clash song ever is a song called Stay Free which is not on London Calling.

 

[Irishteen]

Combat Rock is an all right album, I love Rock the Casbah

Should I stay or should I go, is really overrated though

 

[LemonMelon]

In almost exact contrast to the rest of you guys, I'm putting on some dance music. I hear Daft Punk's Discovery album is really awesome. I'll go with that.

 

[phillyfan26]

1. London Calling
2. The Right Profile
3. Spanish Bombs
4. Lost in the Supermarket
5. Rudie Can't Fail
6. Brand New Cadillac
7. Hateful
8. Jimmy Jazz

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Funnily enough, I'm actually cleaning off my scratched up copy of London Calling and I'm about to listen to it for the first time in probably a year and a half.

 

[Axver]

OK, I'm fading fast. Goodnight, folks.
