poppadoodledoo pop pickers, 46 years ago today
the clash released their finest album "london calling".
"London Calling is honored for many excellent reasons, not least its audacity: a double album by the band that personified punk anti-'commercial' brevity and defiance going long and ranging far in both songwriting and instrumentation—the horn-fed 'The Card Cheat' features M. Jones on piano! It was where they announced that they wanted to play with the big boys and buried most of them forthwith".
—Robert Christgau, El País (2019)
