This album featured 3 singles including London Calling, Clampdown, and Train In Vain. London Calling was a big expressive album for the group.

Favorite Track: Train In Vain (Stand By Me)
Reason: with an upbeat attitude and fun lyrics, who wouldn't love this hit single? The instrumentals are fun to listen and play along to as well. I grew up with my parents.playing this hit from time to time and remember the fond memories while listening to it.
Album Rating: 9.0/10
I really love this third release from The Clash. With it's many upbeat punk rhythms and exploration into new musical genres, this record shows a more expressive side of the group and opens the listener to more to explore!
