THE DOOMSDAY DJ:
TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE
https://youtu.be/EfK-WX2pa8c
On this day in 1979, The Clash released the single “London Calling” (December 7)
The urgency and foreboding strikes in those very first thrashed staccato chords and Strummer’s chilling howl as this classic kicks in.
Strummer said: "We felt that we were struggling about to slip down a slope or something, grasping with our fingernails. And there was no one there to help us."
The Clash’s bleak warning became an anthem, and one of the signpost songs of an era; to be at a live Clash show and be part of the energy when those first chords rang out was an amazing experience.
“London Calling” went to #11 in the UK, #16 in Ireland, and it was the first Clash song to chart elsewhere in the world, peaking at #23 in New Zealand, and #28 in Australia.
Rolling Stone rated the song as #15 in its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, the highest position of the band and of any punk rock song.
In 1989, the magazine also rated the album of the same name as the best album of the 1980s—although it was released in late 1979 in Britain, it came out in January 1980 in the USA.
And of course, the cover photo from the LP is one of the greatest rock photos of all time.
It is one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
