EwanKSep 24, 2004I think this one is maybe the best cd in the last 30 years. Better than any Sex Pistols album. If you don't have it, don't hesitate

BenSep 29, 2004I'm gonna be boring and give this a 10 as well. A life lived without hearing London Calling is a life all the poorer. On the Vanilla Tapes CD, check out the raucous instrumental version of 'Hateful' and the song 'Heart and Mind' - with a bit more work, that would have been a classic.

[Anonymous]Oct 14, 2005Just listening to this recently, and I was amazed at the timeless greatness of this album. Through the dredge of shit that we have to put up with that is labelled at the heirs to the clash, such as babyshambles and the like, this album, although 25 years old, still sounds more modern than anything else being pushed by nme

michaelkMay 1, 2005this album changed my attitude towards music...a big turning point for me. the clash at their peak. it still sounds great but for it's time it was a sensation, especially coming from a musically underrated "punk band"

randysNov 4, 2004When I first saw these guys on SNL in '79, my so-called life suddenly snapped into focus. Whether singing about discontent across the pond or thrashing our beloved Ray-gun, everything they said hit home. Very little has changed in 25 years, and this album will resonate for many more decades.

LawrencePSep 26, 2004The best LP of the 70's and 80's. Anything less than a 10 rating would be a major crime.

JohnBNov 12, 2004I can't possibly fathom anyone not liking this album. Every single one of the 19 tracks are great. Exceptional ones: London Calling Jimmy Jazz Rudie Can't Fail The Right Profile Clampdown The Guns of Brixton The Card Cheat Revolution Rock Train in Vain buy this album now. you will not regret it.

RobW.Nov 24, 2004Richard S- in future could you at least throw off the average for a really crap album...like the new used or simple plan CD's. This album is probably one of the greatest albums of all time. Today's so called punk bands should listen to it, then quit the music business in shame.

Apr 23, 2011Believe the hype, it really is one of the best albums of all time. This needs to be at least 150 characters long, but to be honest there isn't much else to say.
-
Oct 19, 2010I dare to say that this is THE best album of all time. Absolutely flawless. This should be seen as the benchmark of a good album. All hail The Clash.
-
Sep 19, 2010Each listening brings a new pleasure,every song is a sing along. Some of the lines are unforgettable such as ,"he who ..... nuns will later join the church". Just an awesome album for it's time and forever!

BlenderThe demo versions... sound like an incompetent Clash cover band rehearsing in a sock.... If you're considering buying this glorious record for the first time, save 20 bucks and go for the basic version. [Oct 2004, p.136]

Rolling StoneA serious, ridiculously ambitious punk album. [14 Oct 2004, p.100]
