London Calling...pure brilliance! Definitely one of the greatest rock albums ever and the best thing the Clash ever did. Although their self titled is a close second. And I like Give 'em Enough Rope but it really has that 'debut album leftovers' vibe.
I know a lot of people will hate me for saying this, but while I like Sandinista, I think it would have been much better if they cut it down to a single disc (or double LP instead of the triple). The album as it is is way too long and has tons of throw-away tracks in the midst of some pretty brilliant ones. Anyways, after Sandinista, they pretty much went downhill.
