London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared - and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard,you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look to us
Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing


The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
Cause London is drowning and I, live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, you can go at it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out - and draw another breath
London calling - and I don't wanna shout
But while we were talking I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no high
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes


The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear era, but I have no fear
Cause London is drowning and I, I live by the river

Now get this
London calling, yes, I was there, too
An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
And after all this, won't you give me a smile?
London Calling

I never felt so much alike, like-a, like-a...

LONDON CALLING

[ivanpeon]

London calling, best album ever.

[maxxy]

Too hard. These two albums are, in my opinion, incomparable.
Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is a genius jazz work, obviously in my top five jazz albums of all time, but London Calling is genius in its own right-incredibly creative and without a doubt the best in its genre.

I choose not to vote at this point. Maybe I will later, but not now.

ive gotta go for london calling, purley because im a firm believer that relavence, relativity factor and personality will provail over technical ability every time. im not much of a jazz man anyway.

although its criminal injustice that london calling knocked out daydream nation AND loveless (if my memory serves me right)
