How nicked is that bass line, too. I hear echoes of it in so many songs--hip-hop, rock, etc. |

One of my favorite Clash songs...it's interesting to hear this version because the original's all dubbed out, but the Arcade Fire version makes much more apparent how good the Clash were at writing English folk songs. |

I love that song. Paul Simonon's name seems to be everywhere these days.
