“The ultimate punk protest album.” ~ Mojo

The Clash release their debut album on April 8, 1977. (The US version didn't arrive until July 1979.) It's considered by many to be the greatest and most important rock and roll albums ever. It's #102 on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time." #theclash #70spunk #70srock #rock #rockmusic #joestrummer #mickjones #punk #music #musicsky #musiciansky

Great songs with great covers ...

I Fought The Law
-- The Bobby Fuller Four (1965)
-- The Clash (1979)

Breakin' rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won

Tidbit - originally released by The Crickets in 1960. Yes, those Crickets.

Hard to believe Joe Strummer has been gone for 20 years. This is my dad's original copy of The Clash's Give Em Enough Rope that he bought in 1978. Joe's songwriting and determination has always been a big influence on me. #JoeStrummer #vinylrecords #vinyl #TheClash #1978music
