Top Ten Songs by The Clash

I rented the movie "Rude Boy" a couple days ago, having never seen it. I was a little distracted while I was watching it, but there were definitely some cool moments, and the live footage was awesome. It inspired me to listen to The Clash again for the first time in a few months, and then make a top ten. I tend to prefer the earlier, more punk rock songs. My first contact with them was unfortunately through their last album (classic), "Cut The Crap" when I was probably 12 years old. Needless to say, after being exposed to the Ramones, Dead Kennedys, etc. that sounded like bad disco new wave crap. I was going to give up on them, until I heard the first album. That's more like it.

Here they are, the top ten Clash songs.
