[cpj93070]

i just love that intro it feels like your just making your way into the parde amazing band the clash were.

[MrDistortedView]

RIP Joe, I was 13 when he died- been a massive clash fan since i was 11

[1hunglowly]

Possibly my favourite Clash song! !A big call from one of their biggest fans!

Saw them live twice - at Cloudland, Brisbane Australia and during their Combat Rock tour in Hollywood!!! The greatest band ever!!

[MaxiGD]

Sandinista is the best Cd from the Clash. Too much people Just listened Rock The Casbah and says "I like The Clash"...well Fuck Them!

From Argentina...

[fastacid714]

@MaxiGD easy man, sandinista is great but take it easy on the undereducated.

[hufclufc]

@MaxiGD Or even worse, Should i go or should stay. Cliched rock. Whereas the other side was Straight to hell, one of my fave songs of all time!

[stratocharger]

interesting too, how this points to the later stuff Big Audio Dynamite did,.. and a blending of the dub/reggae echo plex melding, compare this to "Cheat" and you see why these guys were so freakin' awesome! They developed in two directions at one time!

There are no words to express how much I freakin' LOVE this song! Definitely one of the best The Clash tunes...too bad it's so underrated.

[CedarwoodFair]

It's not too hard to cry in these crying times...

Eternal lyrics. Amazing song.

[castorsia]

This song is just great.And so underrated.Like many songs from the sandinista! album

[strummeresque]

@castorsia There are many, many albums that Eye love, by many, many artists, but if there were only time to listen to one for one last time, my choice would be 'Sandinista!'.

Instant goosebumps

[vegantrash]

one of my top favorite clash songs!

[Indio156]

I am old. I went out with someone who worked with The Clash, and I was best friends on the road with Gaby, who later had Joes daughters, Jazz and Lola. My boyfriends favorite song was this one.

[mamoulianlives]

Love this song. To me this song represents the core message of what the Clash was actually trying to tell its audience. Truly mesmerizing.

[cpj93070]

do u think anyone will put mensforth hill on there? lol

[track8fodderstompf]

I put mensforth hill on here!

I think alot of people have! lol

[machbaby]

I have always loved the airy, floating sound of this song. Paul's simple bass line really drives this song. Throw in a sax and some steel drums and you have yet another Clash (should have been) classic.

[vtm20002000]

There isn't a single Clash song, studio or live, that I haven't heard many times...and this is my all-time favorite.

[AppoCC119]

Great song, like to listen to it whenever I´m up late nights or feeling down. Beautiful song.

There are so many underrated Clash songs. Lots of people think The Clash is just London Calling, Rock the Casbah and Should I Stay or Should I go. While those songs are certainly a great part of the Clash, there are so many other, different songs, most incredible good, and even some really bad ones, like Mensforth Hill (what the hell is up with that song anyway?).

[strummeresque]

@AppoCC119 You are so absolutely correct about the three songs you cite (I'd throw "Train in Vain" in there as well). It saddens me that so many of my contemporaries know the Clash only as "that sort of political band that sang, what was that song, 'Stand by me La-la-la-la'?" So sad....

Eye am fifty-three and was so fortunate to see them 13 times and talk to Joe sometimes. If I ever have to go to Texass or back to Pluto and can only take one album, make mine "SANDINISTA!"

[sidDkid87]

@AppoCC119 Amen, AppoCC11, so many great Clash tunes 'buried' out there . . . Street Parade is one of my faves too!

[hangin10]

This has to be one of the most underrated songs of all time. Thank You.

[SandVat]

Thanks for posting.
