On the topic of great Clash music, "Career Opportunities" (I believe form the same album as "Lost in the Supermarket") is my favorite song of theirs. Can you imaging any modern American artist proudly shouting a lyric like "I hate the army, and I hate the RAF."? The Brits aren't as military loving as us, but still, what balls.

Thanks. Couldn't remember off the top of my head. I'm more on the side of punk Clash. Having said that, have you ever heard Joe Strummer and Johnny Cash's cover of Redemption Song? Obviously not a Ska song, but it is Bob Marley, and thus shares some roots in that world. Its beyond good.

Is this the one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F10tP5HIpaA

That one appears to be the same guitar track and Strummer voice track, but lacks Cash. This one below is what I was thinking of...

caio and b_b check out this live version of Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros playing their song "Bindi Bhagee". It's a favorite of mine. Joe kept making music right up till the end. What cool fucking guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZiPCJrd0_4
