Masterpieces: The Clash - 'London Calling'
Tonight's Masterpiece was the 1979 album 'London Calling' from The Clash. It regularly makes the "Top 3 Best British albums of all time" lists, and is certainly one of the greatest albums of all time.
The Clash have influenced everyone from Jamie T, Frank Turner, Lily Allen and Green Day, and were one of the first bands to blur the lines between reggae, rock and, of course, punk.

"Been waiting for this all week, favourite most original, iconic, influential band ever, best album ever wrote! Anneka, 13, Cumbria".
"The clash are the most influential band ever and Joe Strummer is a hero to millions. An amazing band. Ron in Dundee"
"This is THE masterpiece Zane! The only band that matters, where would british culture be without The Clash? Strummer, Simonon,Jones and Headon changed my life!"

Seeing them in 1977 at the Bournemouth winter gardens is one of those gigs I will never forget. And the London calling album is one piece of vinyl that I wore out through playing it so much.
