The Clash - I Fought the Law [Single]

FUCK YOU ALL WITH LONG COMMENTS!!!

If your gonna label it call it Revolution Rock

[colbyhundley]

I thought punks were the ones who hated labels and trendy popularity. If you call yourself a "Punk", you are then labeling yourself. The Clash are VERY popular to people of all sorts. "Punk" actually means "In poor or bad condition", and "Punk Rock" relates their lyrics to that definition, it's anti- corruption, selfishness, robot-like trend, robot-like establishment (You get the idea). The music part is expression. It's music, beautiful at that. Don't worship out of appreciation. Just listen.

[JohnAProctor]

@colbyhundley Originally people called it punk rock because most Punk Rock at the time didn't have much talent in their bands. And true to that definition, you don't need much talent, but it still makes incredibly good music and has turned into the definition you have said.

@JohnAProctor

I think the no talent argument is bullshit unless by talent you mean Steve Vai- technically competent but unegaging self-absorbed wankery.

The Clash were fuckin' talented.

[mfant45]

new gen. stuff isn't so great to me..

[MrCiarang]

I fought the law once...and won! Challenged a parking fine. Didn't need my six gun.

[jesusfuckingchrist4u]

the bobby fuller four videos of this song are amusing if you are old enough!!! although this version is by far the best.

[NinjofGinj]

Robbin' people with a six gun.......

[memeco50]

This songs sounds differently now that my best friend is in jail serving 180 days and has a immigration hold, waiting to be deported out of the U.S. I guess he fought the law and the law won.

[headhunterjay]

[mikeconnormaddie]

Brilliant - when music was music. I so wish I was 19 again, working on my rally car late into the night in my garage, having this blasting out!

[chachueloide]

[sppong24]

'Snot pure punk, halfwit!

It's a fucking cover in a simple 12-bar blues format because they needed to produce a moneyspinner while they worked towards the great "London Calling" tour.

Get your fucking facts straight, shedhead.

It's not punk, it's pub rock.
