The final album by The Clash's original Strummer/Jones incarnation was originally released in 1982. It includes two massive hits: "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" has the biggest, stupidest, most perfect riff this side of Louie Louie, and "Rock the Casbah" pulls the band's politics, fine-honed sarcasm, and saw-toothed guitar sound into the service of a dance-floor beat.
Strummer's lyrics have also deepened on this record - Allen Ginsberg turns up on "Ghetto Defendant" and it's clear on some of the other tracks ("Car Jamming", "Straight To Hell") that he was an influence on Strummer's songwriting.
