Judging by both today’s poll and the All-Star Jam area, The People<\/strong> are in the process of speaking. We hear a call for a Critical Upgrade<\/strong> on The Clash’s <\/strong>Give ’em Enough Rope<\/strong><\/em>, and we’re bringing this issue front and center.<\/p>\n

Here’s the deal, though, don’t expect your generous Moderator to do your bidding on this album. Discounting any album that includes “Ghetto Defendant” and “Red Angel Dragnet”, Give ’em Enough Rope<\/em> is my least favorite Clash album. For almost every pile-driving song I love<\/em> (eg, “Safe European Home”, “Tommy Gun”, “Stay Free”, “All the Young Punks”) not to mention the silly songs I can’t help but like (eg, “Guns on the Roof” and “Julie’s Been Working for the Drug Squad”) there is an absolute stinker so bad that it would have been rejected for inclusion on a Stiff Little Fingers<\/strong> album!<\/p>\n
