London Calling is the greatest album of all time. That is a hill I will die on.

First three albums are incredible. I'd treat Sandanista with care. There's some diamonds there but bloody hell it needed some editing.

It's a masterpiece...but I'm not sure it's even the best Clash album. Gun to my head, I go with the self titled debut. I think the sloppy, angry, piss and vinegar stuff is just more my speed when it comes to punk.

I adore London Calling though, don't get me wrong. Clampdown might be my favorite Clash tune period.

Sandinista is weird. It’s really fun to just put it on in the shop and work for two hours and go “huh, that was a fun listen and even had a bop or two”

But if you go into it looking for a mind blowing record, you won’t find it immediately. But it’s there. Just gotta give it a couple spins. I love that record. All the weird shit, it’s so good.

I once spent a week listening and curating my own Sandinista into a single album, that was fun and I still listen to the playlist now and again.

No need to die on that hill, nobody would kill you for that rational opinion.
