Not in most of their earliest stuff but definitely on some of their later stuff. Loved the Clash. One of my all time favourites. Joe Strummer went awol the day they were going to be playing Fusion in Aberdeen. 

don't remember that . Gutted i missed the gig at the Northern Hotel 88 , my first trip offshore

Best debut albums of all time include The Clash and Led Zeppelin. They are probably the top two. Notable mentions to Arctics (who I went cold on real quick thereafter), The View and most recently Fontaines. 

You've been good since you came back but disagree on the Arctics and F DC. 
 

is there a best debut album thread? I expect there will be! 
 

id certainly agree re self titled clash though. Cover to cover, bloody great.

I'm not comparing it to the original album version. I compared it to the live version you posted and I prefer the slow extraction of the essence of the music and the art within the lyrics to that particular clumsy confused are-we-meant-to-act-punklike-to-this-audience non-musical rendition. 

fair enough , i wouldn't listen to it twice . Not a put down

Unclear thinking for a couple of reasons. You're not my judge and the fact I gave a notable mention to three debut albums that I like isn't an area to disagree on. Taste is not like facts. We like or dislike to various degrees and a hundred people will have a hundred different outlooks. 

I think in your absence you may have missed my rise to prominent musical guru of the board. So whilst yes, musical opinion is that of the beholder, I have the final say on what constitutes a good album. I'm not judging you as a person, I'm just telling you your opinion on this matter is wrong.

Staggering example of the power and musicality of one man right here. The intelligence, originality and fuck you attitude burns bright.

 

I've shown that piece of writing to so many people. At all times of day or night. JUST LOOK AT THIS. I don't get invited back to much parties anymore.
