Not to jump the gun while another game is still going, but I wanted to get in first dibs on this somewhat neglected great here, The Clash. Here's a top 50, arguments to ensue I'm sure:

1. 1977
2. Bankrobber
3. Broadway
4. Capital radio one
5. Career opportunities
6. Charlie don't surf
7. Cheat
8. Clampdown
9. Clash city rockers
10. Complete control
11. Death is a star
12. Death or glory
13. English civil war
14. Garageland
15. Gates of the west
16. Hitsville UK
17. Groovy times
18. Guns of brixton
19. Hate & war
20. I fought the law
21. I'm so bored with the USA
22. Ivan meets G.I Joe
23. Janie Jones
24. Jimmy Jazz
25. Julie's been working for the drug squad
26. London calling
27. London's burning
28. Lost in the supermarket
29. Police & thieves
30. Police on my back
31. Rock the casbah
32. Remote control
33. Rudy cant fail
34. Safe europan home
35. Should I stay or should I go
36. Somebody got murdered
37. Spanish bombs
38. Stay free
39. Stop the world
40. Straight to hell
41. Street parade
42. The card cheat
43. The right profile
44. The magnificent seven
45. This is England
46. This is radio clash
47. Tommy gun
48. Train in vain
49. White man In hammersmith palace

You're not. These games have been overlapping since it started, and the two I've come up with are in what's called when people think of the new wave era the "Cheese"--so it's the appropriate distraction. [:D]

I'm going to be blunt and throw away what's become the annoying "Drinking song" even though it's the song that finally brought the Clash to super stardom in the U.S. You ask "Should I stay" and I say "Go."

Well, there went my favorite Clash song. Fortunately, there are still many I love. Now I have a response to edit.

waldnorm, edit your post I took off 26. London Calling

Not going to disagree there. And I don't want to neglect one of the truly neglectible, "Broadway". Why some tout it so much is beyond me.

Are some people actively trying to take the piss out of the game, or are you just from a parallel universe of crap taste?! [}:)]

You should know the answer to that [:D]

Well, just in case this is the revenge of the Bangles "Eternal Flame" fans, I'll do the decency and drop "Hitsville U.K." which if it won I think would've had Strumner roll in his grave!
