London is calling, the guns of Brixton firing, and should I stay or should I go? What do these three phrases have in common? Only that they are from the songs of a truly special British band. First off, who the hell names their band the Clash? I'm not sure. Secondly, why are they so cool? Again, I'm not sure. 80's pop can be a scary thing. Before you think I'm a musical traitor, I've only ever heard one pop song by them. Should I Stay Or Should I Go is seriously one of the coolest songs I've heard. Listen to it off of iTunes if you don't own it. Sure, it is pretty hardcore pop, but just the lyrics and sound make me smile. The rest of their stuff is pretty grim, especially Guns of Brixton and London Calling. One is about race riots, the latter about nuclear disasters. But, hey, I love them both.

Actually, they started in the 70's and many of their good songs were in the late 70's...sorry
