The Clash- London Calling (1979)
Nominated by: blade1889
London Calling was The Clash's third album and arguably one of their most successful. The Clash were introduced at the height of the punk rock scene but were known to branch out more than the average punk band, reaching towards the blues and reggae genres.
London Calling drew its influence from your average worldly issues, particularly the bad ones. Voted by many to be one of the greatest rock albums of all time, the album is relevant to issues of those in Thatcher's England, though several songs from the album can be drawn from fictional characters like, such as Jimmy Jazz.
The title track is definitely one of their biggest songs:
The Clash were together from 1977 to 1986, with frontman Joe Strummer writing a fair chunk of their songs. He died in 2002.
