The Clash - London Calling


Supposedly, this album is a 'classic' 'punk' album. Not really 'punk' at all just Rock/Pop or if I was feeling generous I might call it 'Post-Punk' but nah. Feel like the people who call this punk are the same people who say shit like, "Woody Guthrie/Patti Smith/Mick Jagger/Nikola Tesla was sooooo Punk" Also heard people say that they 'pay homage' to Elvis with the lettering of the title but I thought Punk was about 'pushing boundaries' not producing the same stuff we've heard over and over but this time the guy's voice is kind of scratchy and they wear combat boots. 80 minutes too! All classic albums are ~40 minutes long. Lost in a Supermarket is still an A+ track though kind of feel like it's a metaphor for the existential crisis that plagues post-postmodern life.
